You will regret this for the rest of your life-
that you let the best women for you go.
But you would have regretted it for the rest of your life if you didn't.
You knew in your heart she deserved better and that she wouldn't-
and couldn't-
give herself the freedom to find it.
Because she would've loved you forever,
even while she resented you for not returning
a fraction of it back.
I am so angry at you for it now,
but one day I will be so greatful you did let me go.
May you find peace and be greatful you did too.
