"The First Step"

[lillita]

How do you say goodbye to a part of yourself
When you weren't ready to leave in the first place
Time keeps moving forward no matter what you want
Even when you want to stay there, you can't

Change is inevitable, but it still hurts
Everyone else moves on,
But you feel stuck in that moment
Living it over and over again

Sometimes you know change is coming
Graduation, Moving, Age
But sometimes it sneaks up on you like a thief
Taking someone you've come to expect to be there
And nothing is the same without them

It can be intimidating,
The Unknown
Trying to be normal when everything is different
Moving on
Being happy again
But it something that has to be done

You can't keep holding on to it
The past is gone
It's done with
But the future is there, Waiting

You just have to keep moving
It's okay to remember,
But you can't let the past consume you

It's hard to take the first step
But time never ends
And if you get stuck in the past
You'll miss all the wonderful things around you
If you focus too much on what is lost,
You'll loose what's left behind

Just take the first step onward
When you move forward
Things start moving with you

And you'll find out that you're not the only one
Who's still feeling the pain
Who feels stuck or alone.
We all feel lost when things change
But together, we can make a new journey.
Just take the first step with us.
Your friends will always help you pick up the pieces

It's okay to grieve your losses,
But don't lose yourself in the process.
