The Hardest Part

The hardest part was letting go

Until it wasn’t hard anymore

Time heals yes all wounds

Even the ones left on my heart

My mind might never let me forget you

But I’m ready for us to be apart

I think we both know

That our journey has come to an end

And although somewhat abruptly it may be

It is for the best

I will not forget solemn nights

Restless days spent on your chest

But I will not let you hurt me anymore

I must love me best

I do not regret doing the things I’ve done

They’ve helped me to learn

That love is sweet, and so were you

But people change, they burn

I will not forget our hours of speaking of our lives past and present

I will not forget your music

Or the good you represent

I will not forget the feeling of love that I felt with you so real

I hope someone can get me high

Like the way you used to make me feel

The hardest part was letting go

But I was strong enough to do it

The hardest part was letting you know

I don’t want to play games anymore

I’ll miss your lips

Your goodnight kiss

I’ll miss the way you felt

I’ll miss thinking I was your one and only

I’ll miss how you made me melt

The Hardest part was accepting that you are no longer my first love

The Hardest part was accepting that  you really have changed

But I am not ashamed !

I loved you like I believed no one else could

I loved when you fell

I loved you when you stood

I adored you when you were right

I forgave when you were wrong

You fit the beat of my heart perfectly

You were it’s favorite song

You played the perfect instrument in my orchestra

The Hardest Part was watching you hurt me more each day

I must learn to let hurt go!

I must learn to change!

I must learn you are human and not so perfect after all

I must realize you couldn’t have been there to catch my every fall

I must know you didn’t mean to hurt me

But everything happens for a reason

The Hardest Part is not giving in

The Hardest Part was letting go.
