The Splendor of Letting Go

I woke up and reality hit me in the face (yet again, but harder) I guess we are truly over. We fought again, about stupid shit, but I needed this reality check. I asked him if he could take the cat because we can't have pets in the apartments that I applied for. He, of course, said NO, so my daughters are so heart broken. They love that cat, and frankly, so do I. Maybe I need to find an apartment that excepts cats? Most low rent based on income are all pet free. Why does this have to be so difficult? Can't he do this for his daughters? I realize my son hates the cat. Soon to be ex has the dog, and good, I like the dog, but I realize it's his best friend. If he was in a place that couldn't have pets, I'd take the dog so we wouldn't have to get rid of him, especially for the kids. We fought about my health, my neediness. I told him he burned down the bridges between us along time ago and I realized that over the years, I've been getting over him. So here is a song that is extremely important to me. Notice the lines:

"And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me."

Over You by Daughtry

"Over You"

Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running

Putting my heart back together.
Well I'm putting my heart back together,
'Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.
