I came across a picture of you the other day, and I couldn’t help but smile.
Not because seeing you made me happy, but because I will always have the memories...
Some good, some bad..all very real.
The times we had and the love we shared will always have a special place in my heart.
We fought for a love that just wasn’t meant to be- but it doesn’t change how I’ll always feel about you.
You can love someone and know that they belong in your heart, not your life.
Truth is, I can’t really remember why we didn’t make it, and it doesn’t matter now.
I won’t think poorly of you or of us, because we had something beautiful for a time.
You loved me in your way and tried your best to always make me feel special...
I’ll forever appreciate that about you when I think back.
I learned so much about life and love from my time with you and I wouldn’t change a thing, even if I could.
Love sometimes isn’t enough to carry two people past the emotional distress they face together.
You need more than that: respect, empathy, compassion and communication.
I’ll never forget you and the magical kisses and frozen moments in time that will always have a special place in my heart.
A tiny part of me will forever miss you and wish we were together again, but I know things happen for a reason..
I’m happier now for what happened and what I learned after we parted ways.
We were never meant to find our forever together, and though I cried endless tears many nights about losing you, I know now that I’m a better person because of what happened between us.
You forced me to look harder at the parts of myself that I tried to bury in our relationship-
I can’t thank you enough for helping me to understand the path to a happier and healthier me.
So, if I ever saw you somewhere across the way, I’d look at you and simply smile at the memories of what we once had.
For a time,
It was real, it was beautiful and it was love.
I’ll always be glad you let me go..
That’s when I finally learned how to truly love myself.
