That's when she realised.

She couldn't get him out of her mind,
that's when she realized he meant more to her than she thought.

She went out of her way to make him happy,
that's when she realized his happiness mattered more than hers.

She made excuses for the things he did that hurt her,
that's when she realized she fell for him, hard.

He did things he shouldn't have done,
and he didn't do things he should have.

She felt things she didn't know she could,
she felt pain she wasn't able to describe.

She loved
she loved
and she loved
and she was broken.

She realized holding on hurts more than letting go,
that's when she realized
even though she doesn't want to
she has to let go.

And so she did.
