The thought of makes me burn with a desire to cry;
when I hear your name I remember the many times I stood there listening  to you lie.
Knowing your ways of deception, I still choose to forgive you;
hoping that you would somehow change.
You always had stories that never added up,
you played your game well, and I must admit, you took the cup.
You played me like a video game and always advanced in stages of deception.
Yet I somehow always had it in me to forgive you.

I watched you smile and lough and wondered if you were laughing at the heart you were busy breaking.
You would hold my hand but deep down inside you were letting go of my love.
I wonder if you knew that there was never a night that went by without me thinking of you.
Was there ever a day where you thought about or considered the paint that you were putting me through?
            amazingly I forgive you.

Not because you deserve my forgiveness, but because I pity you.
Your failure to recognise genuine sincere love caused you a lifetime of prospective happiness.
You destroyed the one thing that was right and perfect for foolish pitiful wrong split second moments.
         All I can say is, thank you

Thank you for everything you put me through;
because now I'm stronger than I was.
It is said that wisdom is gained through personal experiences,
so I am more wiser than I was.
You taught me how to withstand pain and disappointments,
how to be patient and endure the storms and hardships in a relationship.
Thanks to you I will be able to love and care for the woman God is preparing for me.
which is the exact opposite of you.
                                THANK YOU
