Lesson of Love

Learned a lot of lessons,
in the short time I have lived.
I've learned how to appreciate,
and I've learned how to give.

But in these past few months,
there’s two I'll remember most.
I've learned how to love,
and I've learned to let go.
You entered my life with such a force
and left it with one as strong
and though we tried to make it last
we both knew it wouldn't be long.

I lie at night and think about
how I'm the one to blame.
If only I would have trusted you,
I could have missed this pain.

And so I spent each day of my life
with my heart in pieces.
And when I thought it could never be cured,
something happened; I expected it least.

I guess my soul was all cried out,
and it was tired of being used.
And even though I know I'm guilty,
I was tired of being accused.

And so I've learned to end this
without an urge to cry
these are my final words to you,

"I love you and goodbye.”
