Heartbreak Anniversary

Letter #0.18

You were all I could dream of
All I could want to grow fond of
A sight to behold
Yet a story untold

You were the greatest love
Greatest fear, greatest downfall
The love that was meant to end
Yet I always looked back to

I could not bring myself to hate you
For you've brought out a me I never knew existed
The real self that was hidden
From their judgemental, hateful eyes

Thank you for all that you've done
Apologies for every thing I've missed
I loved you for all that you were
But I'm letting you go for all that you are.

I'd love to hate you
For the man that you've become
But that's you, your choice and your life
So I'll leave you to it as I go on and finally live.

– to my greatest and most painful love, I loved you, though it's not enough for you. I may be mad and vengeful, but I'm still me, and I still have the heart to hope and forgive. But you're no longer an exception.
