Reasons

Let's be honest

everyone's done it

I know I have 

both regrettably

and unapologetically      

so when it happens to me

no matter how much it hurts

I must not interfere

because I understand

that people have to do

what they feel is necessary 

for them to reach their goals

even if that means 

sacrificing a friendship

or distancing yourself

from those who you feel

do more harm than good

imagine someone like me

who loves helping others

being ghosted for reasons

I'll never even know

maybe I did something

didn't do something

or maybe it was just Karma

whatever the reasons are

I know time is limited

and it waits for no one

so just be ready to move on

no matter how much it hurts

because someone can

move on from you

let's be honest

everyone's done it

I know I have

That's Why

He remembers her 

and that's why she's changed

from the way she styles her hair 

to the way she wears her smile 

nothing about her is the same 

except for the fact that 

she's a woman of many talents 

but she refuses to waste them

or her time ever again 

especially on someone like him

he's not the only one who remembers 

she remembers too

and that's why she's changed

the woman she was 

isn't the woman she wanted to be

at least not completely

but he'll never meet 

the woman she'll become

unless he becomes something else 

something greater

because she hasn't forgotten 

how she was treated 

when she felt like dying

and that's why she's changed 

not everyone feels

as amazing as they are

but she's working on

knowing that she is that amazing 

so he can have his memories

of how she used to be 

but letting the past die

is how she lives for today
