Friends

Where do I go from here?
You come back into my life from the past
and now want to be just friends!

I put you out of my life and tucked you away in the pages of my past
with fond memories and purple rose petals.

Life moved on and I had to keep on going without you.
Our story didn't truly end,
but I forgave you and let go of the bittersweet fairy tale.

My heart and soul had to learn how to care, trust, dream, wish, hope and love again.
I stumbled through the darkness in my heart
until I found how to light my own way.

Instead of waiting for someone to give me roses,
I planted my own garden in my soul
and now I don't mind the thorns so much.

Now you come bringing a storm to threaten my peace and undo all I've learned so far.
You'd like to find a place in my present and future as a friend.

I don't know where you can fit anymore.
But at least now I know how to truly end the story.

I am completed.
Without you.
