It's funny how you see the world
in someone and then you find out,
after all is said and done,
how they really are.
They're really bitter and mean
and easily amused at the anger
they stir in you.
I realized now, that the time I spent
with you was to show me how un-perfect you are.
And as much as I love you, I realize,
you're not meant for me and it's good
that you're gone.
Once again, I gave as much as I could of
myself to you and in the end,
you still left me with a broken heart.
I trusted you, told you things I don't
really tell anyone, and you still left.
I'm done trying to walk on eggshells around you
and I'm done hoping you'll come back.
I'm okay now, not perfect but okay.
Things will be better and you'll move on
to find someone good for you
and I'll find someone good for me
that I don't have to walk on eggshells around.

Walking on eggshells
is just another way of saying "hiding how I truly feel."
You shouldn't have to.
That's not love or even friendship. That's incarceration, putting your soul into a self-made prison.
You shouldn't have to.
That's not truth or even reality. That's killing yourself slowly by living a lie.
You should have to.
I saw myself, too, in this. Like you, I moved on. It was the only thing left to do when I finally figured it out.
Great write.

i realized that at the very end and thats when i decided, that as much as i cared, i had to leave, and maybe one day, when the person realized this, they'd wake up, and if they loved me, they'd apologize in the very least. but i don't expect an apology. they were simply being the way they were and i was doing what's best for me. im happy you moved on and got out alive =]
