In the midst of the we

We found that there’s more to you

That there’s more to me

That growing together would be a stifling tangle

That we are meant to thrive apart

That we were only a temporary home for our heart

Now that we’re not a we

Now that you are a you

And me an I

I must learn how to separate the we that I hoped we could be

From how misunderstood you made me

I must remember that you,

Would make me feel blue

But I forget that you and I are not a good we

So I miss you

It’s the illusion of how happy you could’ve made me

What we had was beautiful and sweet

But we can’t harbor illusions that some day again we’ll meet

Because the lessons we’re meant to learn from each other have been taught

And we’ve given we the sweetest gift

You’ll remember me when you’re days are blue

And realize I’ve made a wiser you

And when I hear myself sigh

I’ll realize you’ve made a stronger I
