I think I have managed
To finally forgive you
For what happened.
I have learned
That none of this will matter in the far future,
So why worry so much about it?
We were a massive bonfire
That burned out too quickly,
And we tried to relight the fire
Only to get burned in the end.
You seem happy now.
I know I am.
I believe that I'm finally getting over you.
I hope we can still be friendly though.
You were always a good friend,
And from here on out
I hope all your days are filled with sunshine.
I hope you don't get too sad,
And when you are
I hope that afterwards
You are the happiest you've ever been,
Because no matter what you did,
And no matter what happened,
I never wanted anything else
But happiness for you.
Even though
You destroyed me
And didn't care that you did,
I still believe
There's good in you.
I still believe
There's a part of you
That's a good person,
And I forgive you
For hurting me.
I forgive and thank you.
I thank you for teaching me what isn't love,
And for teaching me my worth,
And for teaching me how special I am,
But most importantly,
For teaching me what I deserve,
And for teaching me how to love myself
Without someone else's help.
Thank you,
For the memories.
Thank you,
For showing me love
And what's not love.
Thank you,
For the good times.
Thank you for everything.
I will always remember you.
