Forgiven but not Forgotten

It was because I loved you, that I let you go

It was because I could not stand the aching pain

It was because the sacrifices I made were never good enough

It was because the hot tears constantly running down my cheeks meant nothing to you

It was because I could no longer feel free and at ease with you

It was because I could no longer call you my best friend

It was because you could not trust me

It was because you could not value me as a potential lifelong partner

It was because of the ignorance that took over your personality

It was because we could no longer have an honest conversation

It was because I felt numb without you that I could never let you go

I began to think, how could I ever live without you?

Till I began to imagine a life without all the misery that I had been living by

I saw what was best for us

I needed to let you go

To let you go finally set our souls free

It was not until then that I was overwhelmed with happiness

Thank you for showing me what I deserve

"Because I love you" was always your excuse to your wronging 

The words “I love you” will never be the same

Do not tell someone “I love you” just for the hell of it

Words are not enough

Express your love by valuing, respecting, trusting, and believing in the person

That is when you truly love someone

Words can only do so much
