I hate to say this, but I'm sorry for leaving you behind.
You say it's easy to love someone through the good, but when challenged, the bad will show you if you'll stay.
And I didn't stay. I knew I had to leave.
I hate to say this, but I'm better without you.
They say not to jump from the boiling *** into the frying pan, but I didn't listen and I leaped in headfirst.
I found someone new. He's the best that's ever happened.
I hate to say this, but I'm moving forward with my life.
I say that when given a new chapter, write it as wild, and with the experience of loving you, I can give him something new.
I am giving him something new. It's time to bury our love, let it go. Let it grow and if it needs tending to, maybe I'll come back in the future when things are better. When things are right.
I'll take a shovel and dig at our dirt to find what was once our treasure of gold.
But for now, let it sink. Let it soak. Move on. Like I did.
