To my Ex


I’ve been feeling like writing about you for awhile now

When it comes to talking about it, I’m not sure how to go about it

But I just want you to know, it’s ok if it hurts and you let it show

Being told that your ex is with her next

and feeling like you lost your breath, cause you know it’s for the best

I hope you know I felt it all too

3 days was all it took for me to fall in love with you 

 

I could never forget the time we spent together 

We got 2 dogs, had an apartment and spent a life together 

Your family became mine too

So I think of them just as much as I think of you 

Please know I never meant to hurt you in anyway

But I lost who I was and needed to find my own way

Back to the real me and one day you’ll see

That you got just as much out of it as me

 

I want nothing but the best for you

I want to see you happy and fall in love too

You will always be my best friend

My ride or die until the end

So I don’t regret a single thing

You taught me how to love and be loved

And that alone means everything 

 

Im sorry, I know this isn’t how you thought things would be

I could never forget you, I have your name tattooed on me

Marley and I will always be here

No matter what I’m not going anywhere 

Just know I’m in a better place now and 

I could’ve never made it if it weren’t for you

 

Thank you for taking care of me and putting up with how mean I used to be

I appreciate you more than you’ll ever know

I love you, but now it’s time for me to go.
