You Were Wrong

I'll keep this as a whisper,

As to not be seen or heard

I will remain here in this silence

For this silence is what I have learned



I know now how to cope

I know now how to die

I know when it is you need me most

And I know now when it is that you need me to fade away



Just like today,

I have givin up my attitude

No more feeling sorry for myself

Or yourself, if that is what you thought

That is not what I thought, so go away

We will talk another day, but as for today

I am gone, I am gone, So long



This isn't written in redemption

Nor is it sad

It is not happy, not dying, not gone forever

Not even glad



This is a story that all have felt

That all have already delt

This is the feeling of forgetting and forgiving

Before this fire burns far too deep and scars...



Underneith the skin

I felt a burning from within

I knew that this was time for this dream to finally fly

It was time to move away and start another day anew

To be reborn again, let go of all your sin

This is a new beginning, a second chance to make this right



But that is all for later, for right now we are gone

I am moving on, you are moving on

I am staying strong, you are right where you belong

We are both where we belong

You were wrong, you were wrong this time

I will not try to bring you back this time

I am moving on

Author's Notes/Comments: 

There comes a time for change, this time for the better.  Don't think of me as gone at all, I'm still around whenever she wants to talk, it was just time to move on.
