Thank you

I used to like the sound,
The music always played.
It played round and round,
Until the day you went away.

Now the house sits dormant ,
Waiting for the sound.
The silent stairs just torment,
As you never walk back up them.

I wonder why I miss you.
You never made me happy.
But after all we went through,
I just thought it was forever.

It had to be, didn't it?
I wouldn't have suffered everything,
Only just to quit.
Why did you do this to me?

I used to wonder that.
I used to want you back.
I'd look at your lonely hat,
And remember way back when.

Back when you held me close,
You never let me go.
Now it just seems gross,
How I thought you were the one.

I've made it past the sadness.
I've made it past the tears.
Now I feel just gladness,
And allow myself to smile.

I have a great job these days,
And even a new house.
I've grown in so many ways,
You wouldn't recognize me.

I hope you don't come back now.
I would not know what to say.
I've learned to forgive you somehow.
Forgive you for walking out

I'm better off without you.
You couldn't make me smile.
Now I've found a man who,
Has never made me cry.

I guess that I should thank you,
For leaving me like you did.
Your absence pushed me to finally do.
All the things I never had.
