It's hard to let go of the past,
Scrolling through old pictures of us,
The genuine smiles on our faces,
A smile I havnt seen on myself for so long,
Since I left you,
I keep the photo album you gave me next to my bed,
The charms on my bracelet,
No matter how much I try to eliminate you out of my life,
Little bits of you remain here,
You said you'd call and you didn't,
Constantly blocking my number,
Forever leaving me,
Your return is always unknown,
So I have to let you go,
I'm making a promise to myself,
That I'd never try to get in contact with you again,
I'd delete all the photos,
Remove the charms,
Burn the photo album,
Because if I don't,
I'll never be able to move on,
Like you have,
You really were my first love,
The first person to show me what love really is,
To love,
And to be in love,
But now is the time for me to move on,
To learn how to let my guard down again,
To learn how to love again,
To learn to be me,
To let others love me,
To see who I am beneath my exterior,
She wants to love me,
She wants me to let her in,
To let her love me,
And that's what I need to do,
Not for her,
Or for you,
But for me,
So I can heal.
