I let you go, but not because I loved you to the point…
“I let you go, but not because I loved you to the point where I wanted the best for you. But because I knew you would never come back. I thought about you almost every day for six years. I thought, I knew I would never see you again but I didnt want to believe that was true. I dreamt of the day I would see you again, wishing yourself for my forgiveness even though It was I who messed up. ----------------------------------------- The day I forgot about you, you showed up. Along with everyone else I longed to speak to again. It had been to long and there was to much I wanted to tell you. So much you needed to hear. Instead I sit quietly in the back like a coward. Watching you walk away the same way you did 6 years back. And it was the moment when I turned to face the trees that I realized everything I ever had, had changed and no matter how much I wanted to rewind so many”
