This is the end. After 5 years of writing and releasing poetry, it's time for us to end on a good note. I have been writing this collection for a few months and I'm so proud of what has come from it. I named this "Riley" because this is that Cindere...

                                              I should've stopped myself this time 
I should've never allowed my heart to open 
Just for it to get broken again 

I should've been more stable instead of loose 
I could have taken the long route and stayed home 
But I left with my heart open 

I never would've imagined that I was so stupid 
But I should have seen this coming because it was too soon 

I guess it's time for me to pack it all up 
And decide what's good for me right now 
Even what's good for me is just crying 
It's not easy but it's time for me to let go 

But I guess it's time for me to quit pretending 
Got to take off the makeup that holds me back 
And show why I'm never ready to hold on 
I guess that the best love is the love that lets go 

It's not normal 
To cry each time they brush past 
Or ignore you time after time 

It's not hard to read me 
I'm an open diary full of tears 
Then you were my diary 

I never imagined that we would have to say goodbye 
But here we are saying goodbye, but only over text 

I guess it's time for me to pack it all up 
And decide what I can do for me right now 
Even what's good for me is just breathing 
It's not easy but it's time for me to let go 

But I guess it's time for me to quit pretending 
Got to take off the wig that held me back 
And show why I'm never ready to hold on 
I guess that the best love is the love that lets go 

I try to remember the memories for what they're worth 
But now I just feel like a fool not seeing the signs early on 

I try to think that I'll be okay but maybe it won't be 
But I should lay down the sword I've wielded to the sun 

I guess it's time for me to pack it all up (Pack it up for you) 
And decide what's good for me right now (It's not easy) 
Even what's good for us is to be apart (Oceans away) 
I guess that the greatest love I've had is the one that let go 

I guess it's time for me to quit pretending 
Got to take off the mask that hides me away 
And show why I'm never ready to hold on 
I guess that the best love is the love that lets go
