Distant Memory

I wasn't trying to make you feel guilty. I wasn't trying to make you feel bad. I shared with you the truth.

The truth is...letting me go was the best thing.

Please know that we shared a great thing. I know you know that. And I know that. We had a relationship that no other person could define... but ONLY us. You made me...I made you...now let's go our separate ways. Know that I'll be just fine. Promise.

What we had will never be replaced. I do not intend on replacing you.

It's time for you to become a distant memory. A good memory. When the time is right...we'll be friends. But right now, you'll remain a memory. My memory.

I love you.

A Better Place...

I got too comfortable with you. Lived a life that was not me. You are lazy, confused and don't know what love is. I was blinded. You told me things I wanted to hear. Not things that were true. You gave me several reasons to let you go in the beginning but I was blinded. You hurt me. And now I'm a better person.

That was not me. Will never be me.

You checked out on me while holding on to me. You let me dangle on a rope as you thought of others. When you were with me...you were really not with me. When I waited for you, you let me wait. You turned me into your obligation. You let me LOVE you with all of ME while you absorbed it all in and shit it right out. Who are you?

You know what the best part about all of this is? I am the one in a better place now.

I'm the one who will find such a greater love. I will be with a man who will respect me. Who will not make me wait for him. Who will be honest to me. Who will love me with honesty...with truth. I will find a man who will grow old and mature with me. Who will NOT hurt me. Who will take care of me. A man who will be... a MAN. My man.
