My Last Goodbye

I see you
I see me
I see us
I feel passion and pain

We introduced new territory for one another,
yet neither one of us was ready to settle and claim it as our own

You see you
You see me
You see a game
You fear the pain and pursue the passion

The day we met
The nights I saw you before you truly saw me...

Nights in your arms, our love in between bedsheets and underneath the stars

I was not me when I was with you, I was better
You took my fears and made them strength...
You filled my voids and
you turned my tears and stress into laughter, and deep breaths

I can't say if you would agree,
but I trusted your words, your eyes, your care

Security was a feeling I had never known until I heard your knock at my door

The lies, hurt, pain, and many "goodbyes", won't touch the way I feel...

Our audience reminds me you are not my happy ending, maybe they're right...

For now there are no more words between us,
The game must stop.

Still, the me who was made with you is surviving,
breathing without your life support

Letting go is not giving up
Letting go is not losing what you love
Letting go is holding onto the good,
erasing the bad,
and growing.

He helped me fight
love
trust
grow

I am holding onto the best of you...and the best of me
The rest can go,
exiting through my tears and these words that are my last goodbye.
