A LESSON
 
 
by Monica-Angel GellarI've learned a lot of lessons
 
 
 In the short time I have lived
 I've learned how to appreciate
 And I've learned how to give.
 
 But in these past few months
 There's two I'll remember most
 I've learned how to love
 And I've learned to let go.
 
 You entered my life with such a force
 And left it with one as strong
 And though we tried to make it last
 We both knew it wouldn't be long.
 
 I lie at night and think about
 How I'm the one to blame.
 If only I would have trusted you,
 I could have missed this pain.
 
 And so I spent each day of my life
 With my heart in pieces
 And when I thought it could never be cured,
 Something happened; I expected it least.
 
 I guess my soul was all cried out,
 And it was tired of being used.
 And even though I know I'm guilty,
 I was tired of being accused.
 
 And so I've learned to end this
 Without an urge to cry
 These are my final words to you,
 "I love you and goodbye."
