I know that we haven't really talked in a while (and I say "really" because you dont remember the last time you talked to me, and the last time I talked to you might have been over Christmas break.) Needless to say, it's been a while. But I was on a bus back from a basketball game last night and I was listening to my ipod. A song came on, and as I listened to the lyrics I couldn't stop thinking about you.
Well, I couldn't stop thinking about you and me, I guess.
We've been through a lot in the past couple years. More good than bad, I'd say... but more bad than good recently. I dont know how you feel about our whole thing anymore because we don't talk about it, but I know that for me, it still hurts. I think that's just because ours was the best relationship that I've ever been in, and its hard to let something like that go.
Lately, though, its not because of that. Lately, it hurts because I know that it will never again be like it was before. You said it yourself when you left me that message "we just can't do this anymore." I know that we're not really doing anything, but something is still there.
So much is different though. You're not the person that I fell in love with anymore. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that and you seem so happy now, which is really great. But it's hard for me to talk to you or think about you and realize that I don't even know you anymore. And I don't know if I want to know the you that you've become.
We have great memories. Happy memories. We were very in love, I'm convinced of that.
But time changes everything... and I know that you'd agree with me when I say that we've learned that the hard way.
So... back to the song. I think it is you and me right now. It seems like every word pertains to us. We've had our time together and now we have memories from it. We need to accept that and let go... completely. I know I hurt you and you'll never forget that, so I think this would be the best thing for both of us.
Listen to it and let me know what you're thinking...
Always,
Me.
I've found peace of mind, I'm feeling good again. I'm on the other side, back among the living. Ain't a cloud in the sky... all my tears have been cried.
And I can finally say, "Baby, baby stay... stay right where you are. I like it this way. It's good for my heart. I haven't felt like this in God knows how long. I know everything's gonna be okay if you just stay gone."
I still love you and I will forever. We can't hide the truth, we know each other better. When we try to make it work we both end up hurt. It ain't supposed to be that way.
So, "Baby, baby stay... stay right where you are. I like it this way. It's good for my heart. I haven't felt like this in God knows how long. I know everything's gonna be okay if you just stay gone."
