Thank you for a few smiles
I know, every once in a while, I’ll think of us
Because the time we spent together meant something to me

When we went downhill, it stopped feeling like a dream
Reality sunk in— it wasn’t meant to be
But it’s okay!

We learned and we hurt...together but apart
Now, our hearts are mended
For we both cannot afford to suspend
Our individual aspirations and dreams
Because moments pass quickly when one is stuck feeling blue
We just didn’t make sense — we both have goals to pursue  
There was no need for our inspiration to diminish
Or to distract one another from what we were destined to achieve
It was our time to be finished
But it’s okay!

You weren’t ever here to stay
“The West” was inscribed in your soul
Whereas “The East” described mine
Our paths flip-flopped
So, we were bound to stop
But it’s okay!

I’m sorry for the impulsivity
That soon manifested itself in toxicity
It’s not okay, it shouldn’t have ended “that” way
Every relationship is a learning experience. :)
