Time's Up

It's time to stop this.

It's time to stop loving you,
To stop begging you to love me back,
To stop coming back to you whenever I leave,
To stop impressing you,
To stop caring about you,
To stop thinking about you and,
To stop wondering if you're thinking about me.

I can't believe I stopped loving myself
Just to love you

I can't believe I thought that,
"The search for true love" 
Was over when I met you

But now that our relationship
Is on its end,
It's time for me to correct my mistake:
By settling down with someone
Who isn't like you and
They were right-

I shouldn't have made you my world,
Because it stopped being mine
The moment you came in.

Enough of that.
Your time's up.
