the feeling of knowing that i couldn't continue to love you,
needing to find out how to let go.
you unintentionally kept me from evolving as a person, i couldn't grow into the person i was meant to be.
but as time past and you weren't on my mind anymore,
i became the best version of myself-
between there and somewhere.
i don't like letting go, i don't like pretending.
i don't like forgetting a past with someone and memories being foggy.
i don't like how much you fought my fight for me, and i used every single bit of your energy- as well as mine.
maybe someday we'll remember how much we meant to each-other, but i don't think our paths are meant to cross again.
and i'm completely okay with that.
i've had time to myself, at times, even too much time.
i walked right past you and muttered "excuse me"
i wish you weren't expecting to see the red head you know so well,
i wish you looked at me and thought about me. what we used to be.
i want you to be reminded of the best thing that you've ever seen.
watch your favourite version of me love somebody else, you deserve front row view.
because suddenly it doesn't hurt to see that face anymore,
and all i wish is the best for you.
