I say this with confidence.

Time to let you go.

Right now, Im always there.

I am there on the good days, the bad days and the days in between.

It wont always be this way.

I wont be the one who makes things better for you when you need someone.

Im someone whos easy for you.

Im the warm arms that embrace you when you feel low.

The compliments when you need a boost.

The one who always answers your midnight texts when you are lonely and no one else is around.

The one who keeps your heart full.

I would walk to the ends of the earth to make you happy.

Many call me foolish for staying around as long as I have.

And I know that.

I know that theres someone out there who will love me equally.

The only problem is, they arent you.

I compare everyone to you.

I compare every interaction with everyone I meet to the way you made me feel on the good days.

I know its wrong.

I know I shouldnt hold on to whats killing me.

Im holding onto you.

One day, I will have the courage to walk away from you.

I will be strong enough to not go running back as soon as you call.

I will be strong enough to resist your pleas for forgiveness.

I will be strong enough to ensure it is me being put first.

One day, Ill be strong enough to say that this is enough.

And you will realize that I was always there.

To give you everything you needed.

I wasnt just the safe option, the easy choice.

I was more than that.

It might take weeks, months, or even years before you realize what I was.

But you will regret letting me go.

You will miss me when it is too late.

When you finally realize.

I wasnt always going to be there.
