ten years, too late. ten years— and there's no debate: i will do everything to not be like you. i'm no saint, but i know when enough is enough and to draw a line, before it's too late. people come and people go; and i've come to terms with forgiving and letting go. but in the midst of it all, i hope to be better than to risk it all. because impressions are forever, and i've learned to forgive you and move past it rather than fall.

impressions are forever
ten years, too late. ten years— and there's no debate: i will do everything to not be like you. i'm no saint, but i know when enough is enough and to draw a line, before it's too late. people come and people go; and i've come to terms with forgiving and letting go. but in the midst of it all, i hope to be better than to risk it all. because impressions are forever, and i've learned to forgive you and move past it rather than fall.
some legacies are meant to end. this isn't anger. this is release.
