Bitersweet Goodbye

It's like I lost my mind when I lost you,
I never cared about anything after that.
The first day or two I was in an extreme blue I didn't think I'd ever get out of.

Then, after a few days I became extremely happy.
I still can't explain why I'm so happy,
I'm still so happy.

I've dropped a few things since you've left.
I dropped a few people I used to rely on for literally everything,
I dropped something I was going to try for because I know that's not who I really am,
I dropped my sense of hate and I started to love because I can't waste life hating everything when actually everything is worth love.

Maybe losing you was worth it all,
Maybe losing you made me lose myself,
And maybe while losing myself I'm slowly starting to find out what really, truly means the most.

Maybe you were a lesson in my life,
Maybe just maybe, that lesson was that saying goodbye isn't always a bad thing;
Maybe it's something that brings out the best in each and everyone of us.

Leaving always doesn't have to be bitter,
It can sometimes be sweet,
It's bittersweet.
You'll always be my bittersweet lesson,
I always remember you as the one who kept my head screwed on my shoulders...
And then made me realize who I'm really supposed to be and what I'm supposed to do in life.

Thank you for everything,
My Bittersweet Goodbye.

(Oh fuck what a waste of poetic lines.)
