I Finally Outgrew Our Story

I finally outgrew the version of me that fell in love with someone like you.

Its always sweet in the beginning until the bitterness seeps in.

Today I remembered how naive I was thinking we could have made it work.

Today I remembered how for the longest time I thought you were the one that got away.

I thought that this version of me will only exist with you and I didnt want to lose that.

I didnt want to try with someone else half-heartedly or with a broken spirit.

I thought that this version of me was the best version of me.

She didnt know her worth.

She put up with a lot more than she could handle.

She didnt pay attention to herself or her needs and she ended up paying the price.

Today I smiled because Im not that girl anymore and you dont mean anything to me anymore.

I finally outgrew you.

I finally outgrew our story.

I finally outgrew the kind of love that I had for you.

The unhealthy, childish, hot and cold, possessive kind of love.

I finally outgrew the version of me that fell in love with someone like you.

Now, theyre just a chapter in your book or maybe just a page.
