Shake your head as many times as you want, say no once and call yourself estranged. Walk alone and see the light, take it for granted as they took you. This is how miserable people think and what ignoramuses do. Making room and setting limits is all about protection. It took til now to be alright with independent strides and freedom highways. Tailgates light the way and green highway signs tell me it's never too late and I can go anywhere. Even if nobody comes with me, I keep them in mind. If I pull over to look at directions and panic while praying for the lord above to guide me, the gas tank is half empty half full. Within the half amount of gas I have on my freedom ride, there are happy memories within my mixed feelings of letting you go. I say to myself, "What would they have done?" The time I knew you is the time I needed you. I don't need you but I still have plenty of room for you in my car and someday my life. You come in anytime, Let's go, and let ourselves Go.
We can't always control the outcomes of our friendships. Just because someone liked you then, doesn't mean they will forever. It's ok to spend time alone and be independent. And someday, maybe you should take the keys and direct yourself to somewhere new.
