Goodbye Love

Your happiness was always
  First priority in my life
You said you could never
  Be happy with me
So I gave you the chance
  To be happy with out me
I said Goodbye

I was actually happy
  It was the first time
  In a while too
I had you gone
  Dismissed from my life
And someone new in your place
  Someone who actually gave a damn
  Someone who wasn't afraid to feel
  Someone who actually cared
     About my happiness
I loved it.  I loved him.
  And you couldn't handle it

I moved on...
    So you decided to confess
  Your love to me
I've been waiting so long to hear
  Those three words
In that moment I had a sudden realization
I realized why it is so important
   To tell someone how you feel
No matter what the consequences are
Whether you win or lose it's worth it

There was only one reply
  I could give to you

Thank You...
   Now Goodbye
