I was happy when you came,
Ecstatic when you stayed;
Sad when you were upset,
Devastated when you left!
I was so much into you,
I surrendered myself completely;
I loved you like crazy,
You were everything to me.
Now that you’re gone,
I realized I was wrong;
I gave you the place you didn’t deserve;
A place I should have reserved for myself!
Thank you for hurting me;
Thank you for teaching me,
I don’t need anyone to make me happy;
That’s my job; my responsibility.
Loving someone is not my goal,
Making someone happy is not my duty;
I am not here to belong to someone;
I am not here to complete another.
I am here to figure out
The purpose of my life;
I am here to grow,
I am here to learn.
You did not hurt me;
My expectations did.
I’m glad it happened;
I forgive you, I forgive myself.
