I'm not saying I'm giving up on us-
I'm not strong enough for that.
All I'm saying is I'm moving on
Because where you are isn't where I'm at.
Maybe you will catch up to me,
Then again, maybe you won't.
But this isn't what I call living,
And I lose too much if I don't.
I'm stronger then I was before,
I've learned a lot from you.
You taught me to see the beauty in me,
I'll always remember that, no matter what I do.
So I won't say that this is the end,
I'm just saying I've got living to do.
I'm moving on in my own life-
Even if that means living it without you.

all-too familiar...
This reminded me a lot of that quote:
"If you love someone, set him/her free; if s/he returns, it's meant to be"... Or something like that
Moving on is tough; it really is, but we can't dwell on the bad. It's like drinking poison, and hoping that the other person will die... How sad is that?
My favourite verse was this one:
"I'm stronger then I was before,
I've learned a lot from you.
You taught me to see the beauty in me,
I'll always remember that, no matter what I do."
That just spoke such volumes to me, as I was in a pretty messy predicament myself some time ago. It's been almost two years to the day since my first love left me, but he was a mistake worth making; He taught me how to love without limits, and if not for him, I would never have been able to give so willingly of myself to the current king of my heart.
I disagree with Adele, though; the hollowness in this piece is oddly-fitting, somehow. Well done, and thanks for entering.
