Too Late to Stay

You left without a warning. Like a storm that crossed the sea. Took your promises and shadows. And left the silence here with me. I spent nights collecting pieces. Of the heart you let fall through. Learning how to hold my own hand. When there was no Trace of you. And every tear became a lesson. Every wound became a door. And now you're standing at my doorstep. Saying all the things I dreamed you'd say. But I don't need those words anymore. You came back when I stopped waiting. When I finally found my way. I don't hate you. I just don't belong to yesterday. And it's too late to stay. You say you made a mistake now. You say you finally understand. But the girl who needed saving learned to stand On her own instead. I built a life from quiet mornings and nights That taught me how to heal. Found a strength beneath the heartbreak. Found a love that felt more real. And every scar became a story. Every ending made me grow. Now you're standing at my doorstep. Saying all the things I dreamed you'd say. But I don't need those words Anymore. You came back when I stopped waiting. When I finally found my way. I don't hate you. I just don't belong to yesterday. And it's too late to stay. I forgive you for the leaving, For the promises you broke. But forgiveness isn't longing, And it isn't hope. Some doors close like a whisper. Some hearts learn to let go. Not because they stop believing, But because they finally know. Now you're standing at my doorstep. Looking like the man I used to know. But I'm not the girl You left before. I found peace inside the silence. Ooh. Found my light beyond the storm. And I won't trade who I've become For who I was Before. No, I won't stay in yesterday. You came back. But I came back to myself.
