Hey past life

 
Hey past life
We haven't spoken in a long while  
I hope everything is alright  
I'm doing way better than I expected on this side  
Sorry for the silence
I've been distracted by the beauty of everything I've denied  

The grass isn't greener on this side
But in two hundred and so days I haven't thought about ending my life  
Believe me, I've learnt to break the ice  
I have cracked my shell and got a new lease on life  

I haven't forgotten about you and I  
But I think in past is where you now belong
I can assure you, I would use the experience I got when being with you  
to get me through the tough times  
That's something I know you can handle just fine

Don't confuse this as a goodbye  
But our time together is over  
I'm not going to treat you as a stranger as though you don't exist  
I will always  have you in my mind  
I will use you as a foundation to build a new life  

It’s time for me to make new memories, relish in new mistakes
Not saying that I’ll forget the one's we’ve made  
The good, the bad,
The times you made me cry  
And the times you made me smile  
I promise not to forget  

But I need to let go of the cross I’ve been carrying around  
Letting past experiences drag me down  
But this time around I'm making peace with you  
Washing myself anew  
And letting go of the hand brake this time  

I hope you will be just fine  
Forever
I'll be yours and you'll be mine  
But just not together...
