This one was written today. I took some inspiration from the song Happier by Marshmello and Bastille.
In days of yesteryear
I found someone that brought me happiness
The likes of which I had dared not dream of
It seemed like it lasted forever but not even 2 years
I made so many mistakes
I sabotaged my own ship
To the point that we both had to leave the wreck I created
Even in the hardest times
In the days and months that followed
I just wanted you to be happier
I wanted to change our minds
I wanted to fix it all
But I knew I couldn’t
You can’t take back a lie once it’s said
You can’t sweep it under a rug
As you moved on I didn’t
For the longest time
When the evening fell
The thought of you with someone else
Ate away at me
But through it all
I just wanted to see you smile
Even when it meant I wasn’t around
But every night ends
And always turns to dawn
I found my way forward
And now you are happier
And so am I
Sometimes endings aren’t final
Sometimes they lead to different but better things
Now I’m just a friend
But we’re happier
And that’s enough
