Freedom

Freedom at last
from your bonds
Freedom at last
from our love-hate relationship
I don't know why I waited so long
to get away and end it

Maybe I was insecure
or maybe I thought I needed you
Maybe it was both

I live by a rule: Always forgive
And that's what I did
again and again and again
until it was too much
For always forgiving
can cause hurt and pain

And that's what you did
you almost killed me
I almost lost trust
in relationships working out

But you will not break me
I know who I am
I will continue to Hope
for I am an optimist
and an optimist cannot be crushed
no matter how hard you try

Freedom at last
Freedom at last
I am free
