I think you're still
h u r t i n g

Hurting from
inflicted pain
brought on by a previous
lover.

You need time
You need space
You need to heal

You must to learn to
f o r g i v e
her
and yourself
for everything.

You must be patient
with yourself
& your
fragile heart.

You must let go
of what
"could have been"
"would have been"
"should have been"

You must allow yourself
to hurt
before you fully heal
and grow into an even better
person than you were before.

If you do not,
you will only
hurt the next girl.

Me.

If you do not,
you will only
inflict the same hurt
you feel
onto me.

--

Do not use me
to distract you
from what you need to face.

Do not use me
to ease pain
someone else has done.

Do not use me
to help you move on
from someone you haven't
learned to let go of and forgive yet.

Not me.

Not me.
