Giving up doesn&#039;t always mean your weak. Sometimes it just means your strong enough to let go.<br /> Bloom Where You&#039;re Planted.

It wasn't till the day
That washed everything away
Until you realized
What we lost together

Clouds so dark and gray
People never stay
Leaving cold and dust
Like winter

Though thoughts still remain
It all just stays the same
We think that things wont change
But on that lovely day

You just didn't come back
