To those who claimed to love me….

To those who claimed to love me before….
I hope you find everything in life that you didn't see in me.
I hope you can open up your heart to someone as loving as I am.
I hope you can be honest in a way you weren’t with me.
I hope you can wake up happy with yourself everyday so you don’t take from me again.

To those who claimed to love me before….
I hope you start to love yourself.
I hope you never feel the need to compete with other men again.
I hope you find happiness in the woman you left me for.
I hope you get build a life of your own that you thought you couldn’t build with me.

To those who claimed to love me before
I hope I never meet another man like you again
I hope I become everything you always thought you wanted.
I hope I succeed in everything you told me I couldn’t
I hope I escape the abuse I endured being with you

I wish you well in life because I am doing just fine now without you. I wake up every morning knowing I don’t feel suffocated by your gaze.
I walk down the street every day now grinning from ear to ear thinking about how liberated I feel. No one compares me to another. No one puts me against another.
I am finally free of the emotional and physical torture I endured being with you because I cared.
At the end of the day I cared….not you.
