Letting Go


Because I love you,

I will not dangle your past as leverage to guilt

or shame you.

I will not emotionally or mentally torture you 

with ridiculous mind games.

I will not ever physically lay a hand on you.

I will not belittle or treat you as if you were less,

because you are the most precious of all treasures. 

Because I love you,

I will support you through any aspiration you wish to achieve,

even if it does not work to my favor.

I will shower you in positivity,

especially when you're at your worst. 

Most of all,

I will always respect your wishes and boundaries,

even if the wish is for me to let you go.
