If I look back, I am lost

I need to stop looking back in order to move forward.

I need to be happy for you in order to be happy.

I need to stop dreaming about you in order to start living.

I need to take you down from the pedestal I put you on in order to make room in my life for someone else.

I need to stop comparing everyone else to you, so they can actually have a shot with me.

I need to accept that, as I have lived my life in all these years, you also have the right to live yours. And make your happiness known.

I need to stop loving you, so that I can actually love again, truly.

I need to say goodbye. Just maybe not today.
