Now I think I understand
Why you let go of my hand
It wasn't what I thought at all
Looked very deep within my soul
I held on tight to blaming others
I didn't have the needed answers
My heart is beating now so fast
From what I thought forever lost
I sit here, writing my own thoughts
Because I need to put this into words
I stopped the blame, forgave myself
Close this old book, it's on the shelf
I'm not to blame, neither are you
The truth deep down I always knew
Forgive you too, I'll be ok
My smile will come back one day
There's so much I want to do
Small part was shared of that with you
I won't make plans, I'll set a goal
And I will get it on my own
Don't know what's next instored for me
But there's so much out there to see
For now I found the strength to grow
Today's the day I let you go
It was once filled with joy;
    it used to blossom in the sun
    but after being stuck in a few storms
    the rain from its petals continue to run

What was once the highlight of a sunny day;
    became a soaken delight
    only wishing that one day
    it’ll be happy from the roots that its soil writes

This Abandoned Flower;
    defines its own beauty but it only ignores
    the true meaning behind the uniqueness that’s instored
    within the essence of its pistil
    & maybe one day, it’ll grow to love what makes it so blissful
