I’m slowly letting go of everything I thought I needed.
Today when I saw you with her,
My heart didn’t break and my mind didn’t crash the way it once did,
My stomach didn’t drop the way it did before when I thought of you being with someone else,
And the image of you kissing her on the swing set we sat on the very first time we went on a date didn’t burn me,
Thinking of how you’d let her wear the sweater you lend me when we walked along looking at Christmas lights didn’t make my heart cold,
And seeing your fingers wrapped around together with hers didn’t make me miss how perfectly ours once paired up.
And if I live to see you with her everyday walking around the places we used to go to,
I won’t be bitter and I won’t get sick of you rubbing your new relationship in my face.
I bet you’ll tell her the same things you told me,
But frankly, I have already forgotten half of those lies.
I used to think maybe time didn’t heal all wounds,
But today when I saw you with her,
I didn’t feel a thing.
