Bittersweet

Well I suppose it's been a while,

The days fly by like birds.

And sometimes it still hits me hard,

I can't put it into words.

You set me free but cut my wings,

So I could barely fly,

I let you go but left my heart,

And never said goodbye.

Though I was the one who left,

You were the one who changed.

You were the same person, but,

Your heart was rearranged...

And yes, it's so much easier,

To smile, and laugh, and feel.

I left you, and gained confidence,

My happiness is real.

And yes, the weight's been lifted,

Now I can finally breathe,

But I can't help thinking, now and then,

How very bittersweet.
