Letting Go

You will leave and I won't cry

    You won't even say goodbye

You can't love the way I do

    You and I both know it's true

Your heart isn't mine to own

    It belongs to your cell phone

When it rings I disappear

    You won't see me shed a tear

Once I was the stars to you

    You were stuck to me like glue

That's now a distant memory

    One I can no longer see

We've become an artifact

    We struggle just to speak with tact

The chapter of our truest love

    Has flown away just like a dove

Right now I can feel the pain

    Evaporating like the rain

Soon it won't hurt me at all

    Every day that you don't call

I don't need to be your life

    Your reason to put down the knife

The oxygen inside your veins

    The constant in a sea of names

We are better off this way

    You don't need me to start your day

Now I won't fill up your mind

    With worries you can leave behind

It's okay, it's over now

    New options we can both allow

Our hearts already on the mend

    This is how our story ends.
