A rebound

by Matthew Schut   Dec 15, 2008


I thought you were the one I wanted
I thought I could force myself to be with you
But for three straight years now
I finally figured out what to do

Sure it sucks losing someone that I was close to
Losing someone that I used to call a friend
But I can't go on trying to force it
When I really never want to talk to you again

It's not that I don't care about you
It's not because I don't think you are cool
I just have a lot of regrets from the past three years
That have made myself feel like a fool

I should have never dated you from the beginning
I dated you 2 months after I broke up with the ex
I knew that you were a huge rebound
But I wanted to move on quickly to the next

I did not want to deal with the pain
The pain of losing the last girl
So I tried to date you right away
My emotions were starting to swirl

But I do want to thank you
As crazy as that may sound
You taught me to reach for the best
And not just settle for what's around

You always said you wanted to marry me
But I just couldn't see that happening ever
As much as I wanted it to last
I knew that me and you would not last forever

So thank you for being the rebound that I needed
Luckily we have both moved on with no pain
Sure there are a few minor flaws
But we are both seeking out a new love to gain

I am now healing myself in the right way
And patiently waiting for my true Angel to appear
Just know that you were once someone important to me
But it's now time for those memories to disappear

Goodbye to you, the one that made me open my eyes
Made me realize that I deserve someone that will treat me well
Someone that will not play mind games with me
A new love but only time will tell

So goodbye ex friend, someone that knew me
Someone that knew me like the back of my hand
But life is constantly changing every day
And "you" is no longer a part of this man...
