Moving on
I sit alone outside in a mild August night.
Crying in the darkness.
Deciding to stay till daylight.
Thinking about our fight.
Back then in the cold June night.
It was stupid and unimportant.
Like you said I am.
Words.
Created to hurt and destroy.
Created to stay in my mind.
I am with him now.
He isn't that special.
Won't ever be but tonight I don't care.
Life is anything but fair.
I sit alone outside in a warm September night.
Enjoying the darkness.
Deciding to stay till daylight.
Forgiven is our fight.
Back then in the cold June night.
