Moving Forward

I'm going to start smiling more.
You won't be hard to forget, I'm sure.
I'm done sitting around being depressed.
I deserve more than you give, not less.

You broke me down and made me sad.
You pushed my buttons and made me mad.
You twisted everything and left me confused.
You said sweet things, but made me feel used.

You really thought you could take my happiness?
Sorry, but you failed. I won't let it happen like this.
I'm not going to be quiet.
I'm not going to hide it.

I'm not going to hold back the real me.
I will smile again and once again believe.
I'll stop doubting and believe in fairy tales once more.
I'll believe that one door closes to open a better door.

I'll think about our time together and smile.
I'll look down on you as if you're a child.
A small child that didn't know any better.
A small child that doesn't deserve this letter.

I've wasted too much time already.
I won't continue this life regretting.
I'll accept the stupid past.
I'll accept that it didn't last.

He loves me more than you.
He does things you'd never do.
This is not a sad goodbye.
Just like you, it's a beautiful lie.
