Maybe it isn't supposed to make sense.
Maybe it never was…
Maybe one day you'll look at me and see something more than just some good conversation.
Maybe you won't...
Maybe tall of this is just a dream…one day I'll wake up and not even know who you are…
Maybe this is reality and even though it hurts, I must move on with my life.
You see, I AM STRONG.
I might've been a little weak in the knees over you initially, but time has shown me that you are just another person in this vast universe; and if I could find a man as wonderful as you one time, then there are a million more times just waiting to happen. I have to look at my future with optimism…
Can guess who taught me that?
Yes, you.
So please, now that you have a new main priority in your life, PLEASE let me get over you. I've told you that your happiness is the only thing that matters but I have to think about mine as well. You know, this whole "white flag" thing is hard enough without you being on the opposing end.
What do you want from me?
Do you expect me to settle for less?
Or did you expect me to react differently when you told me the truth?
Was I supposed to be upset?
Sad?
Jealous?
What would those emotions have solved?
Absolutely nothing.
That is why I do not feel anything
but happiness for you.
A while ago, before I met you, I learned that I cannot make someone feel a certain way about me; and it doesn't matter what I think, feel, say, or do. Because in the long run, that person is only going to do whatever makes him happy. And if lying to and hurting me is how they get their satisfaction, then so be it. So, when I met you, I made a promise to myself that I would not give you that authority over me. I made sure that I didn't go off the deep end.
I love you but I am not in love with you and that, my dear, has made all the difference.
You are a valuable asset in my life and I cherish our friendship and every moment that we have shared.
Even the ones that we shared only in my dreams…
But seriously, you don't expect me to live in those fanciful fantasies forever, do you?
Yes, by all means DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. But I cannot give you the power to leave me hurt like I was once before.
So, I didn't win.
BIG DEAL.
I really wasn't participating in the battle in the first place, but perhaps that is what you were inclined to believe….no, no.
I was simply standing on the sidelines, watching how you were practically making that girl fight herself.
And now that she has won [and lost], the show is finally over
and we can all go home now.
So, let me go.
You see,
I have to move on and spread these pretty wings.
I'll fly away with all my ambitions aiming towards the sky.
I cannot linger inside what we could have been forever.
We should've been, but we weren't and so now love, I must fly.
You found excitement in my affections but you toyed with my emotions
a little too much and I found myself searching for a magical potion
that would cure the burning desire to be yours.
But although I looked high and low, my searching was in vain.
No remedy was found…now I see that I have to take my love away…
You see,
I HAVE TO MOVE ON AND SPREAD THESE PRETTY WINGS!!!
Traverse across the starry nights and red horizons until I do not miss your touch.
Find someone who will fly with me inside my dreams and stay there, inside my world until everything comes true.
Only time can heal these cravings I have for you deep inside my soul.
One day I'll breath and I won't need you there beside me.
Until then, I'll just sit here, hope, and pray
that the idea of us being more than what we used to be quickly fades.
You can only stay in my recollection for so long, you know…
Your presence will exist there until my mind grows weary of your face.
That is when I will have another muse, another jewel to steal my breath away…
and that is when I will have undeniably moved on.
I cannot lie and say your memory won't be the reason why I smile
but I am adamant that it won't prohibit me from doing the things I wish….
Just let me go and live my life.
PLEASE LET ME SPREAD THESE PRETTY WINGS
I didn't try to stop you from flying away…why are you killing my dreams???
