All of my loved ones saw me dimming my light

So that you could shine yours just a little more bright

But it wasn't healthy 

It wasn't true love

True love fills your hearts cup

Mine was emptying filling yours up

Late night

Another fight

We both know this isn't right

I came to you a butterfly while you were still a caterpillar

My metamorphosis was over, and with you I regressed

In the end it just made us both sad, angry, and stressed

I let you use me

I let you abuse me

I shouldn't have done that, and this I now know

You never could love me while still needing to grow

Thank you for setting me free from despair

Grateful to once more be breathing fresh air

I hope on some level you realize how much I did, and do care 

For you

For me

For all that I see

For all the peaks and the valleys

For all the highs and the lows

For my kindness and grace despite your menacing blows

For the moon

For the sun

For love's battle finally won

Thankful to know we're still sharing these trees

Grateful to know we're still sharing these seas

I choose to focus on the good,

While you dwell in the bad

This is why get sad, 

Then angry or mad

Misery loves company, and I lied in its bed

But now I would rather share a table instead

I am a survivor,

You tried to make me a victim again

For a moment I relapsed

Slipped back into my past

Hoping we can reconnect as friends in the future,

But our romance was never built to last

We all must face hardship, and darkness, and hell

In order to fully appreciate goodness, lightness, and the well

It may not be over forever, 

But for now, it must be

I promise this is what's best for you,

And for me

For we are both bright lights,

But right now, mine is brighter, 

And you need to grow more,

Before you can glow more

For now, I am seeking someone wholly true.

So that we may glow together,

AS I wanted to glow with you
