Why We Say GoodbyeA Poem by Manda
I never though that I could let go
Or to even find happinesss again You and I had been together for so long And the more I spent away from you The happier I became Believe me when I say that I will always love you And that I'll always be a phone call away But rignt now I need to let go Saying goodbye is no easy task And it's going to hurt If goodbyes were meant to be easy Then I wouldn't feel my heart falling into pieces I know from the beginning It was you who wanted to be together And I once your source of happiness Lets be honest though Those feelings that once set afire Have been burnt out I want you to know that I tried to be happy To tell myself we can get through this But I can't lie to myself anymore I don't want to pretend there is something there Because right now we are on different paths Wanting different things life has to offer us Maybe one day we can look back at what we had And laugh about it because we were so young and in love I can't believe that everyone was right about us They knew we wouldn't make it and yet we tried Part of me was afraid to let go Because I didn't want to see you suffer Because seeing you unhappy was heartbreaking I know you loved me And will always love me Which is why I know you'll let me go But don't think that I'll forget you Or stop loving you because I won't You were always there for me when I needed you And I won't ever forget that and for that I am forever grateful I can't help but cry a little Because writing this makes me crumble inside And just feel such sadness It makes me have to think about everything From the time my ex broke up with me To you begging for me to just give you a chance But that whole summer you tried Tried harder than any guy had ever tried to get with me And I had been so stubborn I laugh now because how much you wanted to be with me And I just wanted to mourn over my first true love Even though you and my ex are best friends It still hurts to see him because of what he did And how he cheated on me with that stupid girl I'm hoping by saying goodbye That maybe, just maybe I can let go of some of that pain Along with hatred toward my ex It can't be easy being with someone Who still has feelings for someone else And while I am trying to let go of the pain I know I can't unless I let us go too Because it's a reminder of how much I loved him And the reason I met you way back then I hope you can understand that this has nothing to do with you And simply just me longing for my happinesss back Becasue if I am being honest, I haven't been happy Starting this new chapter in my life has given me hope Allowed me to meet some awesome people And even someone in particular who makes my heart skip a beat He even gives me butterflies when I see him And when we kiss well the world stops And while I don't know where it may go I still want to try I know you won't read this because it's a reminder of what once was But I know that if just maybe you did read this You would be happy for me and understand My happiness was always of such importance to you And while you may have been blinded for some time You realize now that saying goodbye was what I deserved I will always love you And you will always share a place in my heart And I don't want you to forget that And while I may be rambling on Writing all this out right now is what I need Because I don''t know how else to explain how I feel So with all that being said I hope you can understand one day Why we had to say goodbye © 2015 MandaReviews
