While I Still Have Your Heart

When I'm happy I realize I don't write.
I have nothing to complain about, nothing to say out of spite.

As I am getting closer to someone new,
I don't want to go back to being that person I was when I was with you.

I was young, stupid, and so much in love.
I didn't realize you were a drug, and therefore I couldn't rise above.

But here we are, so many years later... and we can't.
We can't go back in time, and change the main event.

You want me to be happy, but it's tearing you apart.
To see me fall in love again, while I still have your heart.

It's hard for me too, and it's not easy to say I do still care.
That even though it'll be different, I'll still always be there.

But it's time to move on, since this new feeling seems so right.
I deserve a healthy relationship, I deserve normalcy and deserve to not have to put up a fight.

Xoxo,

Carlene
