What It Is

It's not like it was easy leaving you
It was the hardest thing I've ever done.
It's not like I made up my mind overnight
It wasn't something someone said or did
It was just time.
It was time for me to let you go
I've known you for years.
It wasn't like I suddenly realized we were strangers
I knew you.
I know you
better than you know yourself.
It was all those years of knowing you that made it harder
But it was all those years of knowing you that made the choice for me
I just couldn't do it anymore. 
I couldn't tip-toe around the person you were.
So I let you go. 
Nothing happened. 
The world still keeps turning, 
and I am fine.
