it's been a year
a year since you dumped me
facebook reminded me
telling me to look back
look at the memories
and there's a photo
with me and you
the night of a student night
of a performance
you didn't say anything
nothing on the ride back
we got out of the car
you walked me to the steps
and on those steps
you dumped me
with four simple words
"i can't do this"
i don't hold it against you
i don't hate you
i don't hold a grudge
you set me free
and because of that
all i can say is
"thank you"
thank you for leaving me
standing on the steps
wondering what i did
thank you for walking away
without another word
without showing regret
thank you
because of you
i am with a good man
a man i call mine
a man who calls me his
a man who is my one
a man who is my only
a man who i love
so, thank you
thank you for those four words
"i can't do this"
thank you for leaving me
in the rain and cold
thank you for everything
