Over

It's over now
I've spent days wondering how it could have gone
I've spent nights crying out my heart
The love that almost was

You were a chilly breeze
My heart would shiver
We were over
I've had time to think that over
And I'm okay that's it over

You
You used me when I was giving my soul to you
I can't believe all I let you put me through
I use to mourn 
And I've had time to think it over
Enough time to learn from a burn
A bleeding wound that's closed up
The mark's still there but the pain is gone
It's over now
It's over now

I think I've moved on from the black hole
I'm in a different place
New reason to smile now
I guess I'm okay
It's a brand new day
The dark of night is over
It's over now
It's over now

You
You used me when I was giving my soul to you
I can't believe all I let you put me through
I use to mourn 
And I've had time to think it over
Enough time to learn from a burn
A bleeding wound that's closed up
The mark's still there but the pain is gone
It's over now
It's over now

I can't wait 
I can't wait for the nights to be wild
The ones I wasted on you
It's my life 
And it's without you
We're over
Whatever we were
We're over

It's over
I've had time to think it over
and I'm okay that it's over

Great work, Justine! Reminds me of "Wild Nights" by Emily Dickinson, only yours is a bit more down to earth. Better you should make this realization now than wonder forever if there had been something you could have done to make this relationship last. Love, Carolyn
