You are the day and I am the night.
Two polar opposites
Trying to force a connection
Even though our energy
Naturally pushes us apart.

Trying to change each other,
To create that perfect fit.
Not realizing the toll
Our forceful natures
Have taken on each other.

Like two solid trees
We’re set in our ways, unmoving;
How do we even communicate?
Seeing this now, I realize
That it’s time to leave.

This relationship, it’s unhealthy.
I won’t try to change you anymore.
And all we ever do is fight.
I’m exhausted from trying
To force whatever this is.

So this is goodbye; I’m sorry  
For the trouble this has been,
For the pain I may have caused.
Because one new truth remains.
Now I’m the day and you are the night.
