And tonight is the first night,

The first night I let myself care

The first night I Brok down completely

The first night I stopped being mad

Tonight is the first night I let myself really miss you

i have been pushing and pushing you out of my life

I thought it would be easier to do,

but I was wrong.

I have to deal with what happened,

not just forget it.

This is not the easy way,

But here i go

Into a new life.

And tonight I will still miss you,

but I'm not mad anymore.

I cant do it I'm tried

So tonight is the first night I truly deal with it

The author's comments:
After a major break-up, I remained mad, and upset that I didn't deal with it. Even though I had known the relationship was over before it was ended, I had hope that it was just a hard spot. Two months after the break-up I finally broke down and dealt with what happended. Hope that it is relatable, and that if so you all moved on to better things!
