"You don't just walk away when it gets tough babe! You work it out together when it comes to relationships and lov...tha...peerrrsonnn..." (her voice)
Yeah, But I guess I was just dreaming You see I wrote this first part weeks before the news Because it was you - I still believed in Regardless of the paid respects You can't buy someone's love for any less Can't clean up the previous mess I was the problem when I had you at ya best! (Dayum) I hate the way you would avoid a text The truth was between the lines But the lies were all that were left Thought I was drowning in your eyes but really it was just time for me to reflect Ended things calmly but feel like I was justΒ Β in a vortex Can't be afraid of goodbyes when hellos seem to be the hardest
Truth is I wish I deserved it Asking all the time to see her only to get curved in Silent treatment to someone who only tried to treat ya Knowing her life was getting tough and I was trying to keep ya.
Tell me who was trying to push away who? Maybe March 17th was the last time I really met you. And I don't believe that the last time we spoke that was really you Sometimes **** just gets hard and you gotta get thru.
(And I know you'll make it)
Can't give into love's strain and conviction I hate that I love you...without the realization of my false contradictions. Given up on me - yet, add another to the list My mind boggles these days but not in the thought of you - but when things with us took a sudden switch Crazy to think you give someone everything you got to just be forgotten The way you handled those last few weeks were foul girl - spoiled rotten.
Why comeback only to leave? To showcase who you "truly" are but only for yourself to see? To reach out to someone who just can't be reached This seems to be a pattern of one's personality I don't need clarity. The pen is loaded - the target is set Why can't I pull the trigger!? You quit on us and deserve the shots! Why am I trying to be bigger!? ... Cause I've learned a lot Took some deep breaths saw what was hurting me temporarily instead of making me feel blessed This isn't shade This is honesty and telling the truth of ones false reality A lot of stars in the sky but figured you and I were the brightest in the galaxy
This letter to you is for you to see what you can do to someone when you make decisions based off emotions Stop pulling the next person with you just because you can't swim in your own painful ocean Let go of that anger You're too pretty to frown Let go of her legacy too - you won't make the same mistakes when you finally fall in love and pick out a gown.
Disappointment - for sure but you live and you learn Need to stop holding on to the firey moments Maybe that's why it's so hard to let these memories burn. Lessons were taught and two people found growth within each other Let's not pretend like we are rooting for us to simply find another. Our bond was special But the timing was off We'll never know what could've been And sadly that's our loss I only want the best for you And that's on my heart I'd be lying if I said I saw the day wed truly fall apart
But
At times I wonder - when it all unfolded that day, did I say all that I needed? why didn't I beg you to stay? Cause you loved the old me and I'm a different person these days. Still hard to look at the woman you loved And tell yourself it's time to walk away.
You wipe ya face quickly - put up a smile...and just go....(eachos out)
But doug wait... Hol up let me quickly say my final word If this piece ever reaches you i need this part to be heard I love you to death and would re up with you in a second If you were mad after reading this you didn't decipher the love from pain in this message I pray for you all the time, hope you get all the good you deserve and tell god to keep you safe from any harm or danger But I gotta leave ya on this final note "If only we could go back again...and become strangers."
Thank you (echoes out)
One of the toughest pieces I've ever written. no hatred nor anger - disappointment for sure but this is art and I speak better over a pen. Love is love - be thankful for the moments and people in your life to your journey. Love and respect But I still remain sad on what could've been. Love you always. Thank you
