The last time

I think the hardest part of saying

goodbye isn't losing someone 

It's realizing that no matter how much 

you love them, you can't make them

love you the same way 

I tried. More than you know 

I stayed when leaving would've been easier 

I forgave things that broke me 

I gave chances I swore I'd never give again 

Not because I was weak 

But because I believed in us 

I believed that love was supposed to 

survive difficult seasons 

Maybe that's true 

But I also learned that love can't 

Survive when only one person is fighting for it 

Eventually, you get tired 

Not of loving them 

But of feeling like you're loving someone alone 

And that's where I'm at now 

Still caring 

Still wishing things had been different 

But finally accepting that some people 

are meant to be a memory, not a forever 

So this is my final goodbye 

Not with anger 

Not with hate

Just with a heart that gave everything it had

And a soul that's ready to move on
