Good In Goodbye

I heard you laughing in a crowd outside a restaurant we used to go to
I caught a glimpse that stopped me in my tracks
It took me back
You looked happy with that little girl on your shoulders, happy
I know where she got those crystal eyes of blue
Time’s been sweet to you


As bad as it was, as bad as it hurt
I thank God I didn’t get what I thought that I deserved
Sometimes life leads you down a different road
When you’re holding on to someone that you gotta let go
Someday you’ll see the reason why
Sometimes, yeah sometimes, there’s good in goodbye


I don’t regret it
The time we had together
I won’t forget it
But we both ended up where we belong
I guess goodbye made us strong
And yeah I’m happy
I found somebody too who makes me happy
And I knew one day I’ll see you on the street
And it’d be bittersweet


As bad as it was, as bad as it hurt
I thank God I didn’t get what I thought that I deserved
Sometimes life leads you down a different road
When you’re holding on to someone that you gotta let go
Someday you’ll see the reason why
Sometimes, yeah sometimes, there’s good in goodbye


As bad as it was, as bad as it hurt
I thank God I didn’t get what I thought that I deserved
Sometimes life leads you down a different road
When you’re holding on to someone that you got to let go
Someday you’ll see the reason why
Yeah someday you’ll see the reason why
There’s good in goodbye, yeah
There’s good in goodbye

At the point of saying goodbye, there are reason that some people may turn to a point of despise or on the good side of things. To me, it went both ways. At a point where I blamed myself for hurting someone I used to love so much and putting you in pain. Knowingly how bad both of us were hurt at the very beginning and I still left you into that hollow in your chest. You accepted me and lead me to recovery but I gave you nothing but pain. I did even blame you for not holding on me and moving on that soon. But soon after time, I accepted that it was my own doings. And I accepted that it was no one to blame but myself. But it was good in that goodbye.

In 27 more days, it will be 3 years since you left. For now, I look back and smile knowingly that it was all a beautiful memory that made me who I am now. I learn how to love, I learn how to live. I learn how to give. I learn how to forgive. There wasn't a moment in life I would ever forget how beautiful our love was. Being married to you was the most beautiful thing that changed me. Listening to Carrie Underwood's Forever Changed now and smiling and thanking the love you have always believe in me. I will always cherish that memory.
