I WILL NEVER LOOK BACK

What we had I will remember only in my dreams;

Where we shared ourselves, loved ourselves, loved each other.

This is where I can have the peace I need to move on,

To not feel resentment, to forgive.

I WILL NEVER LOOK BACK

I will never be a victim;

I can thank you,

For if not for you I may not have found my way back to who I am.

I can forgive you for your insecurities, your shame;

I will not hold you responsible,

Not when there is another to blame.

I WILL NEVER LOOK BACK

My power is now my own,

My anger slowly fades away;

The pain I have delicately put in a place I cannot see,

Maybe tomorrow, but not today.

Giving it comfort, soothing it to sleep;

Now I must leave it,

It’s time for me to move on, it’s time for me to be.

I WILL NEVER LOOK BACK

In my heart, you also I have put away in a safe place;

Hoping someday you’ll forgive yourself,

Hoping in time you will be able to look yourself in the face.

I will only remember you if I feel I need protection;

Learning what I needed too, becoming who I am.

Giving myself value, so what happened will never happen again.

I WILL NEVER LOOK BACK

Able to stand tall on both my feet, Never falling, never allowing defeat.

I will shed one last tear for you, under my breath I’ll say one

last

“I love you,” I will blow you a kiss;

I will remember you the way I thought you to be,

The one you wanted me to see.

I will only remember you one last time,

Smile, and then;

I WILL NEVER LOOK BACK
