lay down the rules
clear black and white no grey lines
i have not forgotten about him
and you have yet to figure things out
this isn't something to cry about
it makes me a bit sad but it's for the better
and even if i'm sacred because that last "it's for the better" left me more pain than anything i've ever felt
but i'm not gonna let that make me regret not trying
people say that it's better to regret the things you've done
than regret the things that you have not done
looking back hurts; time hasn't helped me heal up the wound even the slightest bit yet
looking forward is scary; so how do i get on with life without being in constant fear
look beside you who's there?
before i couldn't see anymore for miles and miles beside me
but now beside me i see smiling faces of people with strength and love
so take a step forward and don't look back
we need time we need change we need love and care
time to think things through to heal whatever wounds that were left
change everything is always changing every thought every impression everyone every love
love and care without those how cold and sad people we would be
heartless no one would survive

so don't think of this as anything bad
this slowing down of progress might be for the better
in fact it might be just what we need
so there's no need for tears
and even if we didn't work out
i would still love you none the less
and there would be no tears to shed
because i wouldn't have lost a potential lover/boyfriend/ whatever it is that you may be
i would have gained a friend a confidant a support system
