You said you wanted something casual,
Something simple, no strings, just natural.
But I wasn’t ready for that game,
Tired of feeling like just a name.
I’ve been hurt too many times before,
And now my heart won’t take it anymore.
The last thing I want this year to be,
Is someone’s backup, can’t you see?
It wasn’t easy to accept the truth,
To swallow the pain, rebuild my youth.
Your reasons? Sure, they made sense,
But my heart still built a heavy defense.
I’ve been holding on to expectations,
Dreams too high, without foundations.
I know now it’s time to let them go,
To plant my feet and take it slow.
No need to apologize, no need to regret,
Every step forward, I’ll never forget.
Life isn’t fair; it wasn’t meant to be,
But every chapter shapes what we see.
You weren’t a mistake; you were a sign,
A moment, a lesson, a story in mine.
We’re still friends that’s what we said,
But boundaries now protect my head.
Without them, someone always breaks,
And my heart can’t take those stakes.
Your reasons were valid; I won’t deny,
But holding on means I’m living a lie.
I’d be in a relationship all by myself,
Fighting for someone, ignoring my health.
So here I am, learning to walk away,
Hoping for peace at the end of the day.
Letting go isn’t easy, it never will be,
But clinging to pain only drowns me.
I see you smiling, moving on with ease,
While I sit here, begging my heart to freeze.
This year, I’m choosing me,
My worth, my peace, my destiny.
It’s not selfish; it’s how I’ll grow,
To love myself, to let the hurt go.
One day, I’ll look back and understand,
Why life didn’t go exactly as planned.
For now, I’ll take it one step, one breath,
And learn to rise from every death.
Because this? This is my story to tell,
And I’m done staying trapped in this shell.
The weight will lift, the path will clear,
And I’ll keep moving, without the fear.
Congrats to me, my heart set free,
Writing my next chapter, just wait and see.
