Thank you.
I'll never forget the times you made me laugh and especially the times you made me cry.
I hold our memories close, the good and the bad,
the truth and definitely the lies.
Thank you for leaving me.
Thank you for the wake up call I needed to get my life together.
I wasn't perfect, you weren't either.
We were toxic, as most lovers who aren't ready for each other yet are.
That's okay. It's okay. I'm okay.
I'm better now than I've ever been before, and I owe a lot of that to you.
You pointed out my flaws and let me know the truth.
It may have hurt at the time, but now I know I eternally thank you.
I'm finally happy. With myself. With my life.
I can look at the mirror and say, "Hey, I love you."
I can wake up in the morning and actually leave my bed.
Life got harder when you first left, but it's easier than ever now.
You made me into the person I always needed to be.
Maybe it was too late for you, too late for us. But it was never too late for me.
To the boy who broke my heart, I have extreme gratitude. I could never and would never hate you or speak ill of your name.
You saved my life.
And I wish you the best.
Thank you.
Signed the girl who found herself because she lost you.

He's my favorite poet
but he doesn't write his words
with pen or paper
instead he breathes them into my neck
while painting me
with the smooth touch of his lips
His hands glide over my body
effortlessly and smooth
while he sculpts out my figure
better than Michelangelo
ever could
He is my favorite artist
and I am his favorite piece
but I am afraid
that all art must be finished
one day
