Calling it Quits

Folder: 
My Broken Heart

It was good while it lasted
but some things are
just meant to end.

 

It was a long time coming,
but now that it's here
I can't deny that it hurts a little.

 

It's not worth trying to save something
that will need to change in the long run

so I say we call it quits.

 

But it's true that everything is different
since you came into my life;

Some things changed in the meantime,
myself included.

 

I'm not who I once was.
My emotions are more volatile-
just looking at you brings me to tears.

 

I don't remember when
we started going downhill
because the beginning was magical
but I guess it's just how it goes.

 

I'm packing away all these memories
and I wish we could go back to being friends
but maybe not right now.

 

It's true that some relationships last forever,
they just change shape
but I don't know if that's
how it will be for us.

 

So let's just call it a day
and walk away
and see what happens
down the road.
