Now I Can Move On

I learned a lesson hard to swallow
Found a path some don't follow
It happened when I thought of you
And realized I should be through.

The tears must end, and wells go dry.
I've had plenty of time to cry.
Nights spent sleepless with such pain
Must never come to haunt again.

I've come to accept that we won't be
So I'll stop picturing you with me.
It's fantasies that clutter my mind
And without them, I'll be fine.

I don't need you to find my place
I'm me, and me is all it takes.
I did love you, now that that's said
I'm leaving you to move ahead.
