Time To Let You Go

You could always make me laugh You knew just what to say Your jokes could be so freakin lame But I'd giggle anyway You'd take me out to eat some ribs We'd laugh and stuff our faces Our waitress couldn't help but smile While we joked of life and its fazes You were crazy and hilarious Constant, caring and sweet You made me feel like I could soar I could conquer any challenge I'd meet I got to meet your 'family' And loved them from the start I'd found some friends to keep forever But you and me, we've grown apart You weren't supposed to walk away Now memories is all I got I try to forget and move ahead But my heart has saved you a spot I promised you I'd be your friend No matter, come what may I'd forgive you and encourage you I'd never walk away Now I've done my part and said my piece I've tried to make you care But all I get is hurtful silence It all seems so unfair But now I realize I'm a fool And this one thing I know I've drained myself for one who won't care And it's time to let you go

I was just feeling this way last night. But, I was reminded: “So long as you have done whatever it is you have done, with all of your heart, no one can ever say you did it wrong”. So, I share that with you too.
