Letting Go
I’m starting to let go of the things I never thought I could
Forgetting about what used to matter and what I used to think was good
I’m forgetting the familiar faces, and the attachment I once had
It used to be that being without them always made me sad
And now I’m someone new, someone I barely know
Though it’s not the same as before, somehow I still continue to grow
Molded into a different person with different hopes and dreams,
Not as down as I should be, but not as happy as I may seem
I guess I’m just in transition from the life I had and the one I’m living
I’ve made my choice and if one day I try to make it back, I won’t expect You to be forgiving
I’m caught up in a world that you taught me never to go back to
But now the only return I fear is the journey back to you
