Saw Your Picture Today

By LostSoul •
I saw your picture today
Nothing stopped me from putting it away
I'm trying to be okay
And I will be
From now 'till maybe
Eternity
Even if it's hard
I'll close up my heart
Trying for a brand new start
You've become a haunting memory
Of what we used to be
But I know this time I'll be forever free
You got me fooled
Sometimes this world can be so cruel
But I'm no longer a fool
So I will leave you in the past
Try and forget what we've had
Never again, will I be sad
Because of you
Or wishing it wasn't true
Thank you for the lessons learned
I'm better now
Better than you can discern
This time my love will be earned
I will not give in so freely
Love will be taken slowly
If you are not the one
Then I won't look for anyone
I'm prepared for the future
Even if it means alone
As long as I can be content on my own
