One of the greatest mysteries.
Time doesn’t change things, people do. I don’t love you any less, I just don’t need to be around you like I thought I did. I don’t miss a thing anymore. And I’m okay with that.
Never Had a Dream Come True, by S Club 7
Everybody’s got something
They had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday
That just seems to grow with time
There’s no use lookin’ back or wonderin’
How it could be now or might have been
All this I know but still I can’t find ways
To let you go
I never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I moved on
You’ll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You’re the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you
All day today I’ve had a tug-of-war with my emotions: felt a bit empowered and relieved, happy and sad, angry and glad. Not one felt more than the other. I can honestly say that today is the first time in a long time I am able to look at the past and not really GAF about it. I don’t care how it made me feel then or how it makes me feel now. I don’t care what ties were lost and what ties remain. Does this mean I am cold-hearted? No. Definitely not. I am still the same caring, generous, kind, and loving person I was then. Just a little jaded, a little tougher around the edges, and a little less whiny. I realized that it wasn’t all that amazing. And I’m ok with that.
