Because it was for the best

Because I love you, I let you walk away.

From us, our future, and everything in between.

We were far from perfect, almost toxic.

Scratch that, we were perfectly toxic.

I love you but how do you stay, after years of the same old thing?

Because I love you, I let you go.

Into heartbreak and other arms, that couldn't hold you like me.

After nine months and a variety of lips,

I can't find anything like you.

I wish that wasn't such a good thing, because I miss you.

But we are toxic and know better than to go back to the same old.

We ended because it was for the best.

Now we watch from a distance and wish each other, what we couldn't provide.

Because that's what's the best for us right now.

I'm held by a stronger pair of arms and kissed my softer lips.

I'm loved by a pure kind of love, and I hope you soon do too.

I'm still what's best for you, but you're no longer the best for me.

I was the greatest to enter your life and you let that go.

Now I realize everything happens for a reason.

I know you let me go because it was for the best for me.
