Like You Wanted

I want you to be happy

Not because of you

Because I love you

If you’re happy

Maybe I can be too

It’s a nice theory

I know I still love you

I think about you all the time

But I’ve stopped hoping

We were over months ago

It just took a while

Before we accepted it

Now that I have

I’m moving on

Not with someone else

I just am

I need to

So I am

Me moving on

Letting you go

Just like you wanted

I still care about you

I always will

But we’re over

It’s just like you wanted

Us being over

Me moving on

I see it now

So clearly

And I know

I never looked for love

It found me twice so far

You were the second

You made me smile

You made me believe

And then you took it away

At first I was numb

Then I gave up

And my heart broke

I stopped hoping

Stopped believing

Stopped wanting

But I still think about us

What we could’ve been

The dream was beautiful

So I find myself hoping

That maybe someday

Love will find me again

And I hope

It’ll all be

Just like you wanted
