Already Gone

So, I heard this song by Kelly Clarkson today and I hung on every word to this song as I laid on the couch mesmerized by the meaning of this song. If you have ever been in a long-term relationship that didn't last, you might understand. When I got out of my five year relationship, I didn't look back nor have any regrets. However, when I moved back to Arkansas and started running into old friends and driving down familiar streets in the same familiar town, I started to wonder, "what happened to us?" I still haven't had any regrets in my choice to leave, we were very wrong for one another but I had to ask myself, "why did we stay with one another so long if we were so wrong?" What kept he and I together for all of those years? I know without a doubt we loved one another and had a very close relationship with many ups and many downs. We shared a lot of years together and overcome individual struggles with one another, yet we were so wrong for one another.....how does that happen? We have since both moved on but that burning question has remained in my heart since I moved back to the area that had a familiar essence to it. I might not ever know the answer to that question but I am so grateful that we were both able to finally do the right thing and let go. I think love had a lot to do with letting go. When you love somebody you put what is best for them above all and above yourself. I wish him the best and want him happy. I would be a complete heartless person if I didn't go through this time of reflection. I spent five years of my life with a wonderful wonderful man who was so wonderful yet so wrong for me. I am so blessed to be able to look back now and smile and know that no matter what, we shared some great moments with one another and that even though we were all wrong for one another....the good times we shared were right at the time and the choice to finally let go and walk away was also very right.

Life is about making beautiful mistakes and walking away with no regrets.....I'm so happy to be at a point in my life where I look back with no regrets.....

Already Gone

By: Kelly Clarkson

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
Even with our fists held high
It never would have worked out right, yeah
We were never meant for do or die...

I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hurt you now I can't stop...

I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone

Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you wanna cry
It started with the perfect kiss then
We could feel the poison set in
"Perfect" couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so
I love you enough to let you go

I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on
So I'm already gone

Ahhhh already gone, already gone, already gone
Ahhhh already gone, already gone, already gone

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye...

I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on,
So I'm already gone
