So Long

We said goodbye two years ago today - I'll never forget the way I felt that day. I couldn't breathe when the door closed between us And your taillights dimmed as you drove away. I never thought i'd breathe the same again, As pain took away all my wind - And i stood there deflated and broken Refusing to accept the bitter end. It happened on my best friend's wedding day. I'll never understand why you did it that way - I had visions of our wedding as I was standing there But you ruined that for me and left my heart betrayed. I never thought i'd get over it, not in a million years. I cried what seemed a river's worh of tears. I mourned for you like someone mourns the dead - It was the realization of all my fears. But once the salt left my wounds, I realized I was free, Free from all the emotional torture you gave me. Free from wondering where you were - Free from the fragile little girl you made me be. And I never looked back once you were gone. I learned how hurt can make you strong, I learned what a real man should be. And with that, my old dear lover, so long.
