Never Know

Today is the day I let you go,
What could've changed our lives, we'll never really know.

I gave you all that I knew how,
It took breaking my every rule to see what I do now.

All this time I'd go back and forth,
Just begging for you to feel the love that I'm worth.

For 25 years, my record's been perfect,
Of not settling for what only looks good on the surface.

With this experience just like the others before,
I'll take with me the lessons and brace myself for more.

What I've learned from you is that I can share my kindness,
But I need to be aware of the potential of blindness.

I should never forget what I know to be true,
It's not really love if only one has a clue.

One day I'll look back, give you a second of thought,
Smiling for what was won with all the fights that I fought.

Even after all of this, I still see the greatness that you hold,
I hope you'll realize soon what I know you've been told.

That you deserve all the best with or without me,
My friendship is here; we know that's all we'll ever be.

You'll never be as young as you are right now,
So surround yourself with as much happiness as your world will allow.

But today is the day that I let you go,
What could've changed our lives, we'll never really know.
