For the first time in my life,

I managed to smile at the good times

without regretting the bad.

For the first time in my life,

I learned to let go of a memory

and allow it to rest comfortably in the past.

I decided not to tamper with it,

and let it stay.

The way it was,

the way it felt,

and the way I’ll remember you.

A/N: Thank you for the life lessons you taught me in such a short amount of time. You broke me in ways I never thought I could be broken. You damaged pieces of me that I thought were strong and sturdy. You taught me how strong I was and how much better I deserve. I hold no anger towards you anymore, just sadness over who you became. I hope you figure your life out one day and I hope when you do, that you haven’t managed to push everyone away.
