Going Away Didnt Mean Forgetting

Going away didn’t mean forgetting 
By Lady Arabella 
Going away didn’t mean forgetting or that i would  miss you less
Instead it was a way of putting your words to the test
And yet when it occurred you failed to maintain the things you said 
To think once you consumed the thoughts  inside my head
Going away didn’t mean forgetting it just meant I knew I deserved more 
 And I didn’t know how that would turn out and wasn’t fully sure 
But going away allowed me to see things in a new light 
Allowed me to stop, step back  and no longer put up a  fight 
Going away didn’t mean I forgot , it just meant I had time to see things more clear
Away from the hurt , second guessing and fear 
But going away didn’t mean forgetting 
It just meant new paths opened and it’s  now not  just all give and never getting
Going away didn’t mean forgetting 
There’s no more time or room for  regretting 
So no ,  going away didn’t mean forgetting 
 But I was never one for just bare minimum and settling
