so, it's over

Deep in my heart, a battle raged on I couldn't let go, or accept you were gone Days turned to weeks, and weeks turned to years But finally I have conquered my fears We tried to mend the pieces, and salvage what we had But the love that once was, has turned dim and sad The fights became frequent, and laughter less sincere It's time to face the truth, to let our own feelings steer I've learned to forgive, to heal and to grow To cherish the lessons, the love I now know The journey was hard, but it led me to find The happiness I have within my own mind But I will still cherish, all of our time Let go of the past Embrace the now Realizing it's better Not wondering how The memories once haunting, now fade away I found strength within, to face a new day The scars will remain, but they won't define Though I lost my star, I will still shine It was time to say goodbye, to let our love release Accept that it was over, and find inner peace It hurt to let go, but it was the right choice Cause my head feels so clear, not hearing all the noise I've learned to forgive, to heal and to grow To cherish the lessons, the love I now know The journey was hard, but it led me to find The happiness I have within my own mind But I will still cherish, all of our time Now I stand here alone, not broken or lost For in accepting the end, I've realized there's good that was caused I'll hold on, to all these lessons, the growth we both achieved And find solace in knowing, it wasn't time for you and me
