Goodbye to You

We had a relationship that lasted long,
Unlike others, we managed to stay strong.
And we probably would have continued to do so,
But we made the decision, and it was to let go.

Maybe at first, I was just scared to let go.
Maybe I just didn’t want to go beyond what I know.
Because for so long, being with you became my norm.
I was scared to test the waters, because I already knew “warm”.

But the time had come, it was our time to say goodbye.
Because sometimes there are things that can’t go on with just “try”.
It was painful, it was hard,
But for us, it was necessary to part.

So goodbye to you, goodbye to us,
Goodbye to so many things, goodbye to what was.
I loved you, I really did. And I know you did too.
But maybe we both saw this coming; I think we both knew.

I say goodbye, but really, we’d still see each other again,
Because though we’re no longer lovers, we’re always gonna be friends.
Moving on was not easy, we both knew it’d be that way.
But we knew it was for the best, for us to see better days.
