QUIETLY LETTING GO
If being with me, caused you to become toxic
I would gladly let go of you for you
Being beside me might have caused you your delay
Delay in your purpose for this life
I would sever our ties just so you could move forward in life
All I wish is the best for you in this life
The dreams that you have for the world
I want you to achieve them all
And if I'm the obstacle in your life
I would gladly remove myself just so you could soar higher
I love you like a friend would, a sister
If letting go of your hand was all it took
For you to break free from this stagnant life
I would do everything I could to let go of you
Even if that meant watching you succeed in life from afar
I understand the consequences of letting go of this beautiful thing
That our relationship will never be the same
I would never be able to be silly and crazy around you
Come running to you whenever my world is falling apart
But I care more about you that I'm willing to sever it
Now I see you succeeding in life
doing the things you loved doing
being able to be what you always dream of
Even though it hurts that I can't be close to you like before
It's worth seeing the genuine smile on your face that I would do it all over again.
There are things in life that you get one chance at. Whether you miss that shot, mess it up, remember it differently with time, or look back and smile, some things.... only offer themselves... ONCE. That first kiss, a first impression, a final we love you, or a visit to let someone know in person that the moment matters. Sometimes, that once in a lifetime moment is especially impactful because of the challenges that come with it. Thing is, when you look back at those moments, and have to face that you missed them, because it was ... difficult... will you be okay with the changes that came with that choice? If you take the chance and it doesn't go quite as hoped, will you at least find comfort in knowing you tried? Whatever your thoughts, just remember, not all once in a lifetime shots, come with a full color brochure. Sometimes, those moments head your way with a subtle smile, a twisted conversation, and even silent heartache. Pay attention, and notice the little things because well... they might be the only sign you get before one of those life changing "one shot" moments.
I hate when the voices around me fade because I cannot stop wondering if i even matter.
I have many regrets but oh my love, I'm afraid you will be that one I'll never be able to forget.
