A fire needs a space to burn
A breath to build a glow
I've heard it said a thousand times
But now I know
That you don't know what you've got
Oh you don't know what you've got
No you don't know what you've got
Until it's gone
Until it's gone
Until it's gone
I thought I kept you safe and sound
I thought I made you strong
But something made me realize
That I was wrong
'Cause finding what you've got sometimes
Means finding it alone
And I can finally see your light
When I let go
'Cause you don't know what you've got
Until it's gone
Until it's gone
Until it's gone
Until it's gone
Until it's gone
Until it's gone
Until it's gone
Until it's gone
'Cause you don't know what you've got
Oh you don't know what you've got
No, you don't know what you've got
It's your battle to be fought
No, you don't know what you've got
'Til it's gone
'Til it's gone
'Til it's gone

I thought I kept you safe and sound
I thought I made you strong
But something made me realize
That I was wrong
I just wanted to pop in and say that I absolutely love
When it's Gone! I had seen some of the drabbles you were doing and decided to take a look at your masterlist and damn.... I'm so happy I did! I can't wait to read through what you have! Thank you for being awesome! 😁💜
Thank YOU for reaching out! Feedback like this truly fuels my writing. I love hearing that others enjoyed the words I crafted.
'Until It's Gone' is from my EARLY Tumblr writing days, back when I wasn't sure what I was doing and just going with it anyway. I wrote that story to help process a relationship of mine that had recently ended. Something about getting the words from the brain to the *paper (doc) honestly helped me in the healing process. I'm so glad you enjoyed the story!
"Some people never realize what they have until it's gone."
"But what about the ones who do know? The ones who never took a damn thing for granted? Who tried their hardest to hold on, yet could only look on helplessly while they lost the thing they loved the most.
There’s no one else to blame • I can finally see your light when I let go • I’m not afraid to see you suckers hold a blade to me • We are the fortunate ones who’ve never faced oppression’s gun • We said it was forever, but then it slipped away
