You walked away and left me broken
Filled with angst and words unspoken
My heart ripped open, my pain was real
I no longer had the ability to feel
At first I felt angry and betrayed
You left me alone, you walked away
My days felt empty, my heart was stone
I was determined to walk this life alone
Then came the tears, and bitter reflection
I felt the loss of your comfort and affection
My best friend was gone, I wanted you back
My heart was broken, my life off track
My hopes arose when I got your call
But you wanted friendship that was all
Reality hit me, it really was over
I had to let you go, my four leaf clover
Some time passed and I started to see
That this wasn't the person I wanted to be
Filled with anger at what I had lost
I tried to move on, no matter the cost
It was hard at first, admitting mistakes
Taking responsibility, for the dramas it creates
But from the moment I did, I started to feel
And at long last , my heart began to heal
So here we are, trying to be friends
But to me, its more tying up lose ends
My feelings for you are forever changed
The trust once there, has been betrayed
You now have someone new in your life
Keeping me around, will cause you strife
I am asking now, for you to let me go
How to be your friend, I no longer know
So here I am, now starting to see
All the possibilities that lie ahead of me
The journey I took was hard and long
Making the person inside of me strong
In my heart you will always be
For you were the first to really see
How lost I was, you helped me find my way
And for that I thank you everyday
