Thank You

You meet people for a reason,

And those reasons cannot be explained.

But sometimes you have to learn a lesson twice,

Before it can truly be claimed.

You were two different people,

And walked into my life at two different times.

I believed you both were sincere,

But you committed the same crimes.

My heart wasn’t yours to break,

And my trust wasn’t yours to take.

You thought I wouldn’t know,

But you’re blind to your mistakes.

You both came into my life,

To teach me when it’s too much.

You saw me as an option,

And never as a privilege.

It’s my turn to break your heart,

And show you my strength.

I may have stayed the first time,

But this time I’m going astray.

You meet people for a reason,

And those reasons cannot be explained.

But both of you taught me self-worth,

And I will no longer live in vain.
