Letter to My Past

Dear Ex-lover, 

I always say it is harder to forgive someone who has never apologized 

But I soon realized that forgiveness would obtain the closure I need 

And it was a difficult task that would guarantee freedom 

Freedom from the obligation I thought I had towards you 

Broke shackles and packed my bags to move on 

And find the girl I once lost due to your emergence in my life 

To think one day I would have been your wife

Only to be left with heartbreak and disappointment of lies and deceit 

That altered the heart of the once sweet and charming girl I was 

But despite the fact you did not reconcile our relationship

I want you to be cognizant that I forgive you 

I forgive you for all the hurt you brought into my life

Thinking I wouldn’t be good enough for anyone else 

Now I am content and happy with myself 

It molded me into the person I am today 

So thank you for you time in my life 

Even if it was only a lesson

That led me to suicidal thoughts and depression 

A time when I thought it was impossible to recover from 

But now I am an unstoppable woman 

Sincerely, 

A phenomenal woman
