Come And Gone


The time has come for me to be out of the picture, I do not belong here, I never have. I have been deluding myself for far too long. I have always known that I am not the one to make you happy. My touch does not bring you comfort, the ways yours does for me.

The time has come for me to retreat to the shadows, where I am supposed to be. I am the one watching the movie, not the guy who gets what he really deserves at the end. This isn't that fantasy that I have in the back of my head, the one that lets me have you, the one where you tell me that you were just hesitant and confused... the one where you truly love me.

The time has come for me to let you go, I must set you free so that my heart can be broken one more time, maybe this time I can finally find the right person to heal it for me, because it can not be you. You are not the person I am meant to go to when I need a shoulder to cry on, or a warm embrace to get me through the night, It is not fair to you or to me.

The time has come for old wounds to heal, I do not need to be a confusion in your life, and you do not need to be a confusion in mine. The clouds must part and the sun must return, for both of us.

The time has come.
