It was odd…

Realizing I no longer cared

That you couldn’t hurt me…

That seeing you with someone else,

No longer breaks my heart

Or put me in a painful place.

It’s odd to feel free

Free of pain that you caused

With a smile, with a kiss, and falsity

I gave up on the idea of an us, long ago…

But I hadn’t quite gotten over you

And I’m not quite sure when it happened.

I don’t get jealous anymore, that’s good

My heart won’t stop beating because of a picture

And my eyes no longer fill with tears.

But still, it’s a very odd feeling to be free,

But after moving on I’m almost happy.

I found someone willing to give me their heart,

Someone who will treasure mine, not break it

An old obsession you could say.

And yet still, being free from you is odd.
