Because I love you… I decided to let you go. Hurt from what you did to my heart. God do I wish sometimes that I hadn’t met you. Every single day that you told me I was the only one in your life, I believed you. You were my best friend, my first love and I trusted you with everything. You were there when my world was falling apart. Why did you lie to me when all I asked from you was honesty? Every night I used to cry myself to sleep hoping that tomorrow would be different. I missed the old you, the one who laughed and made jokes. Now, I know that I dodged a bullet.
Your jealousy and rude comments felt like a hammer being dropped on my heart. I’m still hurt after seven months of letting you go, but deep down I know I did the right thing. I wish I could tell you face to face that I’ve moved on. He treats me completely different. When I am with him, I feel safe. He has one quality that you never had and that was… respect for a woman. Together with him, I know that we can work as a team to accomplish a goal, and that’s what a couple is supposed to do. Because I used to love you… I found my true self. I’ve become stronger and mentally and physically. I wish nothing but the best for you, but what we had has sailed the ocean.
