Grown Apart

You will have a part of me,
as long as I can breath.
It's not that I belong to you,
or that you're what I need.

But something happened between us,
and I guess we can call it love.
Something we will have to move on from
and try not thinking of.

Something about the thought of you,
keeps me hanging on.
My heart controls my mind with you,
which I'm hoping won't last long.

Not that your my rebound it's just,
my heart knows that your there.
You were always so good to me,
but until now I was unaware.

We have grown apart and now,
I don't know who I am.
I'm not the girl that you once loved,
but I can try and be your friend.

The days I didn't see you
used to seem like years.
But, I've overcome that phase of my life
Learned to let go of my fears.

You were my first love and I'm
pretty sure I was yours too.
But after 5 someodd years
I know it's time we are through.

I'll be open to my future and
try not to forget what we had.
I will hold all kinds of memories
of you, as if you were my past.

I'll smile when I see you while
thoughts race through my mind.
Saying how much I used to love you
while I try hard to not rewind.

You're really hard to let go of,
and I will take my time moving on.
Staying together would be useless now
because that girl I used to be is gone.
