What once was held tightly has loosened in grip
For your absence has taught me to chill out a lil bit

See, when we first got together I was all about me
A characteristic you loved so passionately
And somehow I’ve lost that and have become overwhelmed
By these feelings
Feelings of love yet fear of losing you when you are gone
Which have caused me to hold on rather tightly

But reality has reminded me
That what is meant will always be
So I should not hold on so tightly, there is no need
For if you are for me and I’m for you then there is nothing
Anyone can do
To take either away
And so I’ve pulled away
And loosened my grip
But it’s not because my feelings have decreased
It is because my mind and heart feel secure with you
And I’ve finally gotten some peace.
