Long Time Coming

I believed every word

No matter what they said

I believed every word

Thought the best was to be had

When everyone around me

Tried to warn me

I refused to see it

I was too in love

Too blind

And unfortunately

You didn't love me

Your words lasted longer than I wish they had

The power I gave you 

Was bad bad bad

And my lack of confidence didn't help

Thinking you were the best 

I couldn't possibly risk losing you…

right?

You let me go

Without letting me know

Until one day you show up

The evidence on your neck…

what was I thinking

My heart sinking

I tried to stay mad but really…

I gave you the power.

And I finally took it away.

I am me. 

And I pray for your best

I have moved on.

You aren't the one.

Amen.
