Setting you free

At some point, it has to be simple, right?

We're not simple;

We were once worth it, but is that still true tonight?

I can't envision a future with you anymore,

I dated you for your potential, but it never did unfold.

I find it hard to walk away,

But now, it's either you or my soul.

My anxiety is at its worst,

My old demons are resurfacing.

Staying with you, I'll lose myself,

Adapting to your ways until there's nothing left.

We met when we were young,

Yet, we've grown apart, not just older.

Between you and me, sometimes I wish I was her.

I'll take a deep breath; can we start anew?

How long until you truly commit?

I was your first, your sole choice,

And you let it all slip away.

This time, I'm trusting my intuition,

I'm not happy, and it seems you're not either.

I'm trusting my gut and setting you free.
