Tears stream down your face,
When you lose something you cannot replace.
I broke into tears as I sat and listened to Fix You on repeat,
With an aching heart.
Is this how it feels like to fall out of a relationship?
Memories flashed through my head one by one.
The nights we spent gazing stars,
The laughs and cries we shared,
The moments when we thought we are unbreakable,
The dreams and hopes we had when we were young,
All the promises we foolishly made,
What changed?
Maybe we did.
Millions of questions came to my head.
Why did you have to leave?
Why did things have to change?
What happened between us?
When did we grow apart?
If even we could fall apart, what can't?
For the longest time, you were the stars to my night sky.
Without you, now I'm nothing but pitch black,
Lost in the darkness with nothing to hold onto.
I questioned, and I blamed,
But what's the point?
My heart is heavy, but what can I do?
It couldn't have been easy for you too.
People outgrow each other, and that's normal.
Things die out, and that's fine.
Life happened, and that's okay too.
Maybe there is beauty in passing moments.
We were there when we needed each other the most,
And that's enough.
Now it's up to us to spread our own wings and fly,
And go our separate ways.
Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones.
Now it's not up to me to fix you anymore,
Because you have been doing that for a while now.
You have always done well,
Even without me.
And I just want to say that I'm proud,
Of how far you have come,
And I know that you will go even further.
It's time for you to do even greater things,
And for me to let you go.
I am grateful for the friendship that we had,
Even though it hurt to leave it behind in the past.
You were one of the best things that have ever happened to me,
And I thank the lucky star every day that you came into my life.
Although I am heartbroken to see you go,
A part of me is thankful that you let me go,
Because it made me realise that I have the strength to walk with my own feet,
That I, too, have grown a lot.
Now all that's left of you,
Are just memories,
But they are beautiful nonetheless.
So don't you worry,
I will move on and hold them close to my heart,
For you will always be there.
Know that in this world,
There is someone who will always love you.
Now, I wish you all the best there is in this world.
I hope you left with a light heart.
Thank you,
For seeing all of my colours,
For embracing me like no one ever did.
Thank you,
For being my northern lights,
For being my starry sky.
Thank you,
For walking alongside me on this rocky road that is our teenage years,
For some of the best times in my life,
For my youth wouldn't have been the same without you.
Goodbye.
