I ran into one of our old friends tonight,
He couldn't believe we'd had one fatal fight.
He said the same things as everyone said,
And for once I didn't wish I was dead.
Then he asked me if I was okay,
I said the only thing I could say.

One step at a time, it's how you get through,
With each day that passes, I stop missing you.
They're all concerned, I guess I get why,
But I'll get over you just one step at a time.

I laugh more often, I smile a lot,
The strength that I need is now strength that I've got.
I still can't listen to our song with dry eyes,
But all things considered, that's no surprise.
I did make it through Titanic last night,
That's a good sign of progress, right?

One step at a time, that's how I'll get through,
With each passing day, I miss less of you.
When I think of you, my eyes now stay dry,
I'm getting over you one step at a time.

And I am making progress, this I do know,
But I know that I've still got a long way to go.
It's a slippery slope that I'll have to climb,
But I know I can do it, one step at a time

Fabulous with the flow, and the idea there was just one part that kinda stopped it.

The strength that I need is now strength that I've got.
that line is a bit longer just suggestion"

the strength i need is strength I got

(but that is just a suggestion for that part.)

That was the only part I stumbled on, I like it overall, it is very well written
