Closure

Today I feel light
A weight has lifted off
No longer am I in your orbit
You no longer matter to me.

Today I feel I will sleep
Like I used to before we met
No longer will you haunt my dreams
You no longer matter to me.

Today I feel I have
Possibilities of a thousand kind
No longer will I doubt myself
You no longer matter to me.

Today I feel I can
Think of a life beyond you
No longer am I dependent on you
You no longer matter to me.

Falling out of love

It was so easy to get out
Why did I ever doubt
That you would mean nothing
Just when I thought we had something.

You did the chasing
When I was ripe for the taking
You wooed me with your charm
But it was only doing me harm.

I believed 'cause I wanted to
There was nothing you really had to do
Haunting me ceaselessly like you did
Your true intentions well hid.

But now I know better
Now I am wiser
It took me a while to get here
But I no longer fear

Of what I will do without you
But if your love were indeed true
I would be shedding tears
Instead my heart is full of cheer.

Your loss not mine, I say
Please let it not end I used to pray
Now I think of you not
And it is much easier than I thought.

Falling in love

To be in love is lovely,
To be separated is not.
To talk to you is exciting,
To keep quiet is not.
You not being with me,
Creates doubts in my mind.
What if you stopped loving me?
That thought I like not.
You're the best thing to happen
You said to me.
The same is true for me too,
You not being in my life...
I hope that happens not.
