This is The Day

This is the day I have decided to put away the pain

And realize that I have more in life to gain.

All the time somehow wasted away-

I used to think I wouldn't make it through the day.

Now you aren't as perfect as I thought you to be,

Although I once thought you were perfect for me.

You're not the one thing that I desire.

The attitude you give off... puts out my fire.

You are not who I once used to know.

Where did you put him? Where did he go?

I thought to myself, this isn't how it's meant to be.

I thought I was for you and you were for me.

I no longer think you to be

The greatest thing that ever happened to me.

You may seem surprised I have moved on

But I finally realize you're long gone...

And the funny thing is I don't seem to care

Although you know we made a good pair.

The days have gone by- it would almost be a year.

But no longer can I call you "my dear".

So I choose now to give it all up and set my heart free

Although I will always have memories of you and me...
