I never saw us working out. We were as different as night and day.

But something about you pierced my heart, so I couldn’t walk away.

Initially, my guard was up. I was scared of another goodbye.

But you told me I was different and asked me to give us a try.

Day by day and word by word, you began to tear down my walls.

And brick by brick, as they crumbled, I, too, began to fall.

For something that seemed so wrong at first, things started to feel right.

You were the only thing my eyes could see. Love was beginning to steal my sight.

I was closing my eyes and opening my heart to what I’d been scared to feel before.

Love was overtaking me so much stronger than ever before.

I told myself, “Don’t get too close. Don’t play his little game.

You know that if he breaks your heart, you’ll be the one to blame.”

Nevertheless, I took the risk and believed every word you’d say.

You’d tell me I was different, that what we had would never fade.

Yet even still, I had my doubts that someday this would end.

That instead of calling you “love," I’d be forced to call you “friend."

Then before I even saw it coming, my biggest fear came true.

I never even got the chance to say goodbye to you.

You left me with nothing but hurt, tears and one less piece of my heart.

And waiting to see if you’ll ever come back is tearing me apart.

So I guess I have no other choice than to let go of what we were.

I’m strong enough to get through this; of that I’m completely sure.

Because of you, I’ve learned a lesson that I will never forget.

Be careful who you give your heart to if you want to avoid regret.

So one day when you see me for the first time since goodbye,

I’ll have a great big smile on my face, and I’ll hold my head up high.

And when you see me happy without you, I hope you’re not surprised.

Remember, you told me I was different, so I’m going to prove you right.
