Sometimes we have to move on

by Chelsey   Dec 3, 2006


Sometimes you just have to move on
Move on to big and better things
Forget all the friendship bracelets
And all those promise rings….

I have to admit one thing though
For all those friends I left behind
To those hearts I might have broken
Lately you’ve been on my mind

I remember just a year ago
The friends that lost touch
I still laugh at old jokes and moments
I really miss some of you so much

But I just don’t understand it
I’ve been friends with some of you for years
Is it me that changed or you?
Since when did we decide to shift gears?

I’ve just done so much for everyone
I feel I’ve lost more than I have gained
I’ve given money, clothes, and possessions
Which is why I repeat this refrain

Sometimes you just have to move on
Move on to big and better things
Forget all the friendship bracelets
And all those promise rings

Because ungratefulness is really ugly
I give and all you wanted was more
I got thrown to the side by you all
And so many tears have poured

But I am done crying now
My eyes will not water over what I lost
I’ve found true friends who care for me
And are there for me no matter the cost

    How true your words are. You write with a wisdom far greater than your years. Have felt this way many times as I've traveled through my life; and I, too, miss some of the friends I have lost along the wayside.

    Good write.
