Goodbye For Now (Maybe)

I've been doing some thinking and I've come to the decision that it's time I let you go We broke apart a long time ago We tried to fix what was broken but we can't We are not a good match We only continue to disappoint each other instead of make each other proud You are so convinced that you are unworthy to be loved and the more I love you the more I get hurt because you push me away every time I can't make you accept my love I can't open your eyes and force you to see that everything you want is standing right in front of you I can't keep loving someone who clearly doesn't love me back I thought with time apart we would get a better understanding of what went wrong so maybe we could mend things The truth is we outgrew each other I wanted more you wanted less I saw you as the most wonderful human being one could lay their eyes on you saw me as not good enough I loved you passionately you loved me enough to put a smile on my face then fear crept in and told you all of the reasons it wouldn't work out and you listened I'd like to think we're meant to be My soul has never collided with another's so perfectly it was like magic No one has ever saw into the depths of me and chose to stay and love the parts of me that never knew love Maybe in the future we are different I won't love so intensely and you won't be so intimidated by the fact that someone loves you without ulterior motive Maybe over time we will find our way back to each other but until then I have to let you go I love you with every piece of my existence I promise you that will never change
