Leaving the past behind,
I had forgotten you.

Maybe I think of you from time to time,
But then I push you out of my mind.
I'm moving on,
leaving the old behind,
beginning anew.

But with a simple hello,
you come back into my world.
Why? Why do you do this to me?
We can't exist together anymore.
We aren't meant to be.

So what shall we do?
I think you want me back even though I've hurt you.
But it's not good for me or you.

We might sleep together once or twice again,
say that we care for each other....
Maybe you care,
but I'll just say so because I feel guilty,
because I let you have a part of me again...

But I don't really care.
I want to care.
I want someone to love me and someone to love back.
But you aren't the one.
And I'm not the one for you.

I'm becoming happy with who I am.
And honestly, I'm happy being alone.
I am happy without you.

Someday I'll find a side to sleep by.
I'll find a hand to hold.
But now is not the time.
I won't trick myself into thinking that you are the one.

I let you go.
No more hurting you.
No more hurting me.

So please,
for your sake and mine,
let me go.
Let us go.
