I finally got over you

You were my everything
You were my prince charming
the one who came and swept me off my feet
and took me away from reality
even if it was just for a little while
you taught me what true love was
you taught me how to love
in ways no one else can
and i will always carry that in my heart
you showed me sides of my self
that i thought were dead
never to come back to life
you taught me how to live away
to just be me and screw what everyone else says
you were my first kiss
and most importantly you were my first love
no matter how much time passes
there will always be a place for you in my heart
that will never fade away
i remember the first day we met
you had me from hello
I still get butterflies like it was yesterday
I remember as i was walking away
the feeling as though i was leaving a part of myself behind
yet at the same time
I was gaining something so much better
I never knew at that time
what i was getting into
you were the best
and the worst thing that ever happened to me
you make me vulnerable
in ways i shouldn't be
you were my best friend
and my worst enemy
i remember when you first said i love you
and that one night we were talking on the phone
and i just said "goodnight"
you said "no way, your not getting away with that"
that we weren't saying goodnight anymore
and i said "make me one promise"
and before i could even tell you what the promise was
you said "i will never say it, unless i mean it"
everytime i said i love you
i fell for you all over again

i remember the day you left
my heart breaks like it was yesterday
when you walked away
it felt like you were taking a part of me with you
a part i could never get back
it felt like everything i had gained
was now dead inside
you were everything to me
you were my first love
and when you said forever
i thought you meant it
that was my mistake

I built some many walls around me after that
completely shutting down
I didn't care anymore
Because without you
I felt i had nothing

But now I beginning realize
that you weren't the end
you were the only the beginning
you were the first
but you weren't the last
and even though your not in my life like you used to be
you are still teaching me things
like no one else can
you will forever be apart of my life
and in my heart
that will never fade away
no matter how much time passes by

I have come to realize that you and I
will never be
And at first that scared the heck out of me
Because i didn't think I could love anyone but you
but now i'm learning that its ok to love again

what we had is now only a memory
i will never forget that
but thats ok
because its just a memory
and now its time to make more
but with someone else by my side
teaching me new things
showing me things i never thought i could see again

I never thought there would come a day
when I finally got over you
but now that day is here
and i'm ok with that
i'm ready to move on
and i'm ready to let go

when i saw you that day
you looked at me, smiled and waved
i smiled and waved back
then you walked over and said hello
and as you walked away
i couldn't stop smiling
because i had finally let you go
when you walked over
i felt nothing
and when you left
i still felt nothing

that was the day, i finally got over you
