We had it going so perfect with,
But perfection is nothing compared to what we have without.
It isn’t going to be easy fake smiling, pretending nothing ever happened;
Nothing more than what’s happening now,
It will take long, but it will happen –
When we no longer have to act, when the smiles come naturally,
When there’s no more ground breaking tension, no more awkward silences.
Doesn’t take much, just a little determination to iron things out,
A little talent in acting like everything depended on it.
Because no matter how over you I think I am,
I know that I miss you.
And no matter what you say, I’d be really surprised if that wasn’t mutual.
Because I know it’s a really testing year ahead of both of us,
No, nothing to do with each other, but a really scary year still.
Why go through the agony of handling it alone,
When you know that there’s already someone backing you up?
Always ready to listen, to help, to encourage, to advise,
To occasionally curse the rest of the universe with you.
We still have the world to see, people to meet, a lot to do, almost an eternity of time.
Use it all up; waste not want not, as they say.
Amidst it all, still remember deep down, for memory’s sake.
Maybe all I’m saying is, why bother making fresh starts?
Why pretend to be strangers when you can pretend to be friends?
Love it? Let it go. Just know that if it was meant to be, it’ll return.
And if it doesn’t, just know that it was beautiful while it lasted.
Just know that it isn’t always best served your way.
Just know that there’s more to love than love.
Because sometimes, just knowing is all it takes to heal.
