Letting Go of Charlie

In the shadows where we used to play our long distance relationship hope for a true love future with me in California and you in Philippines , you no effort and me begging for your time and attention yet you gave it to him,

Charlie and I, lost in our own way.

But the spark turned to ashes, love lost in the fight,

You had to wander, now you're back in sight.

I remember the nights, our laughter over video call ,

A bond like no other, then you broke the chain.

You found comfort in another’s embrace,

Left me here wondering, could I find my place?

You said you were bored, needed more than just me,

A search for something that you couldn’t see.

But in your absence, I learned how to grow,

Even as I told you,

I’ve gotta let you go.

So, Charlie, if you’re here to see,

The happiness in my eyes, just let me be.

You drifted away, and I learned how to fly,

Don’t come looking back, don’t ask me why.

You left me in silence; I found my own song,

Now you wanna return? But baby, it feels wrong.

I built up these walls, but your shadow still feels,

Like the warmth of your love, with memory reels.

Yet the pain that you caused cuts deeper than night,

Thought you were my sun, but you hid from the light.

You think I’m still waiting, that I’m lost in regret,

But I’ve moved on, Charlie, I’ve paid all my debts.

While you were wandering, I discovered my soul,

You’ll always be part of me, but I’m taking control.

So, Charlie, if you’re here to see,

The happiness in my eyes, just let me be.

You drifted away, and I learned how to fly,

Don’t come looking back, don’t ask me why.

You left me in silence; I found my own song,

Now you wanna return? But baby, it feels wrong.

Now the scars are my armor, the past a mere ghost,

I cherish the moments, but I won’t be your host.

You taught me to love, but to love myself more,

You had your chance, now I’m closing that door.

So here’s to the lessons, the tears that were shed,

You were my first love, but now that’s all said.

I’m stronger than ever, I’ve risen from low,

Charlie, it’s over, I have to let you go.
