Life is all about timing, and we were no exception

We found each other right when we needed each other

It couldn't have been planned better

So was it the right time for you to walk away?

I dunno, maybe it was

Or maybe you tested the hands of fate and ripped yourselves from their grasp

I am happy without you. I figured out I could be

Last I heard, you were having a hard time with that

But no phone calls, no letters, no happy birthdays, merry christmases

So maybe that's what you want.

I'm okay with moving on

I've gotten better at it over the years

It would be a blatant lie, though, if I told you I erased you

I think I've begun to paint you larger than life

You've been away so long that now my stories have turned myth

You're a legend in my heart now, but I know you're just a man

Your shadow shows a lion but I know you're just a mouse

You don't scare me.

I mean it when I say I'll always love you

But not the sort of love we started off with

I don't feel jealous thinking of who will come along next

I just worry and hope she knows how to take care of you

I hope she pays attention to the fact that sometimes you laugh when you really need to cry

That you hide a lot of things but with enough listening and love, sometimes you let them out

That your mistakes and misgivings are nowhere near as substantial as your heart, your love, and your intellect.

You always used to play things so casual

I have nightmares of walking into your room seeing you standing on a chair

You look at me with the noose around your neck and shrug

"Sorry, bad timing."
