This is me, letting you go
This is me, becoming the girl we both used to know
This is us, not what we were
This is me, living alone and you living with her
This is pride, this is respect
This is me, changing my ways, not me, getting upset
This is the pain, fading away
This is me, beginning to smile again, not cry everyday
This is peace, not judgement or fear
This is finding a way to get through without you here
This is release, struggling to let go
This is leaving a love broken, but still with something to show
This is hard, This thing takes time
This thing reminds me of my fear that you are not mine
This thing Ive fought, I tried to hold on
This thing is keeping me stuck in one place since you’ve been gone
This is a mess, I held on so long
This is me trying to accept that you may have really moved on
This is my heart, broken in two
This accepting that ½ of it will always belong to you
This is my hope, that I will be, a fond memory for you whenever you think about me
This is you, the man that I love
This is the moment we finally let go of how it was
This is us beginning again, together or not, still remains to be seen
This is me allowing hope in
This is a start of love and a life as it begins
This is the truth, not shaded or false
This is trusting in fate that whatever is meant, wins at all cost
This is me, letting you go
This is you becoming the man you want to show
This is you rebuilding your life
This is us being friends first, not husband and wife
This is the time, we both know that it is
This is the moment we get to become whatever we choose
This is me, letting you see me
This is the moment you reveal, just what you see
This is hello, and this is goodbye
This is when you and I have to finally decide
Just what this is, and time will tell
If it’s Heaven we made these past years while walking through Hell
This is us, I don’t know what that means
This is us becoming much more than our wildest dreams
This is us letting go of the past
This is us rebuilding a love with fire and substance to last
This is…….to be continued
