The Box

[claytonsgrrl]

You’ve given me something no one else could
Something that I’ve never quite understood
But just like Christopher Robin and Pooh
It's happened, I’ve finally out grown you

It seems like a hasty decision, I know
It’s the only way this can go
And I’m sad to hide you away with the rest
Because I’ve always secretly liked you best

But it’s unfair to keep you around
Since the lost and forgotten has been found
Restored my faith, mind, and soul
Mended tears but my heart you stole

I need that back if I’m going to grow
I’d let you keep it for good, you know
But I need you gone
So I can really move on

Though it seems I don’t need you right now
I’m lying to myself and I don’t know how
I’m going to make it through this
Without our usual nightly bliss

You got me this far, now it’s my turn
To get through problems without the yearn
Thank you for the guidance and inspiration
But I got it now, no more frustration

So into the box you go, my friend
Don’t look at me like that, like this is the end
Please, just into the box, and maybe someday
I can take you out again to play

But I need you to go away for awhile
I just can’t resist that haunting smile
So make this easy on me, okay
Just get out of my life and out of my way

Here’s the box, it’s big inside
I’ll never forget our two year ride
So join the others, who have been replaced
Since you took up too much space.

I’ll definitely miss him and then I’ll cry
But I don’t want a proper goodbye
It all ends here now, today
Do me a favor

throw this box away.
