People loose feelings for all sorts of reasons It was small things like in the way you poured cream in my coffee and a tablespoon too much of sugar I like black coffee It was in the way you said I love you Screaming it from rooftops with feigned patience I could've said it louder instead of whispering it with promise You think alcohol tastes bitter and fruity I think it tastes like love and regret You thought it was our differences that brought us closer I thought they ripped us apart You left me silently like a sunrise at 6 am I left you like you were a stranger on a bus You didn't have the courage to say goodbye or to watch me cry I didn't have the nerve to ask how or more importantly why You remember me as the first person you fell in love with I remember you as the last person to break my heart You told me, "I don't think you're the right one for me anymore" I told you, "I hope you find whatever you need that you couldn't find in me" 8 months ago for the last time you told me you loved me I see you today and I almost say it back

Closure
People loose feelings for all sorts of reasons It was small things like in the way you poured cream in my coffee and a tablespoon too much of sugar I like black coffee It was in the way you said I love you Screaming it from rooftops with feigned patience I could've said it louder instead of whispering it with promise You think alcohol tastes bitter and fruity I think it tastes like love and regret You thought it was our differences that brought us closer I thought they ripped us apart You left me silently like a sunrise at 6 am I left you like you were a stranger on a bus You didn't have the courage to say goodbye or to watch me cry I didn't have the nerve to ask how or more importantly why You remember me as the first person you fell in love with I remember you as the last person to break my heart You told me, "I don't think you're the right one for me anymore" I told you, "I hope you find whatever you need that you couldn't find in me" 8 months ago for the last time you told me you loved me I see you today and I almost say it back
I think in order to let go you gotta express it all and make your own closure. This was mine and I'm happy to say I'm over it now.
