I like that crushes fade
I like that after awhile
I can look at you
And feel nothing
I don't feel empty
I don't feel a longing
I only see you as a funny friend
When people talk
About our past
I like that I can smile
Roll my eyes
And switch topics
Without cringing
Without that feeling in my heart
That I have forgotten what I missed
I'm glad I can look forward
To being around you
Without needing your presence
I can live my life without thinking about you
But you are still in my life
Time is a great thing
Because after while you can fully function
Without the other person
I'm glad we didn't end up together
