Deleting your texts

I tried to delete your texts tonight.
In the end,
I decided not to.

I could have.
I'm ready to, I think.

Yet,
As I began to delete them,
I realized that
I don't want to forget
How well you treated me
I don't want to settle for less
Than you showed me I deserved.

You may not have been the man for me,
But you helped set the standard
For me
Of how a man should treat me.

For that,
I am forget grateful.

Thus, for now,
Your texts will remain.

Thank you for how you used to treat me
