I knew this day would come.
It's easier today then it has been
I thought it would be harder
But last night I wept
I wept away the things we had
Knowing they are done and gone.

Never thought a simple hug would be so hard to forget
Yet, so easy to replace.
A kiss on the cheek so unforgettable yet discomforting.
A little thoughtful note or phone call could brighten any day.

But...when i think of you now, I think of hurt.
The hurt you caused and how much you didn't care.

You thought maybe we could work it out, ya know?
Be friends...
You forgot though, there's emotions, emotion that can't just be
hidden to be friends.
You think this is hate...but it's simply an act of
protection...protection from you.

Today
The fire I had, the desire to be together...it's gone.
I am letting go and forgetting...
...for today is better.
Better for me, letting you go.

Loneliness of not having you there will be filled
Happiness will once again be believed in someone
Scars will heal but never disappear.

I'm happy now, happy to be able to let go.
You made me realize that i need more
I deserve more; more then you want to give away.

Someday though, we will meet again.
Until then my friend, be gentle to those you hold close

Remember, it's harder for the one you hold, to be unheld.
