I still remember the day we first met.
It was so magical, I will never forget.
I was invited to see and try something new.
But never would I have imagined I would meet you.

One by one, we got to hold you and learn.
I remember I couldn’t wait for it to be my turn.
And when she finally placed you in my tiny hands.
I didn’t expect you would change my future plans.

I placed my lips on your cold silver mouthpiece.
I took a deep breath and your notes broke the peace.
I looked at her with impressed eyes and lips painted with glee.
She praised the others, but the one she was most impressed with, was me.

11 years we have been together, where did time go?
We already have so many memories, performing at every show.
And the time we played for the queen, do you remember as well?
I will hold you until my hands can no longer move themselves.

I can’t picture a life, a childhood without you by my side.
They said we were partners in crime, just like Bonnie and Clyde.
And whenever I was falling, you were my never failing parachute.
I love you to pieces, my old trusty flute.

How the hell am I supposed to move on,
when you've been the only thing
keeping me going for this long?

Please,

Keep me in motion,
Don't let me sit still,
I need to feel the moving air,
To remind myself I'm alive.

I am not a finished product,
But still a work in progress.
You reminded me
I didn't need to be perfect,
to be whole.

It's okay to be exactly
who I am this minute,
nothing more,
and nothing less.

Just enough.

I need you to
Keep reminding me,
That I am enough.

You’ve made me doubt love.
You’ve made me doubt everything.
Your lies spin in my head all day,
"How did you not see it coming,"
"Why didn’t you see the signs,"
I blame myself for your mess.
Your lies I trusted with my dying breath.
You never said you were sorry.
You never tried to explain.
You just left when you got busted
with not so much as a goodbye.
Just suddenly,
you were no longer a part of my life.
So much planning went into you deceiving me,
and I hope just as much planning
is put into your future misery.

PS: I Was Never Yours.
