The love, the hate, and the beautiful

Letting Go

When I am with you

things aren't the way they used to be.

When we first met, you would look at me

like I was the only girl that you would ever love.

But now, I see you looking at her

and it's the same way that you used to look at me.

What does she have that I don't?

Maybe it is the way that she sways her hips when she walks by.

Or how your name sounds rolling off her tongue.

She's perfect in every way.

I know deep down, that there is nothing I can do

to keep you from her.

You know what they say

if you love something let it go.

And that's the thing, I love you so much

that I'm letting you go.

So you can have her and not have to worry about me anymore.

And yes, I'll miss you very much

and it'll hurt once you leave for someone else.

But, at least I'll know that you are truly happy

and have finally found someone who doesn't

make you so stressed and tired all the time

because of countless fights about small and pointless things.

So this is me saying goodbye and finally letting go.
