I knew life was more than my love for you. I just got lost in the idea that I'd suffocate without you by my side. But I knew that with time and space, the sun would come out and I’d remember how to breathe again. But I guess, I never anticipated this bittersweet feeling that arises when my mind wonders back to you. You’re getting married this weekend, which I’ll admit still surprises me after everything. But I’m not shocked, nor am I angry anymore. I’m not as broken as I thought I was. And through this time, I learned that you didn’t break me. But rather that, I broke myself trying fix you. This was unfair to me, but it was also unjust to you. Fragments of my soul were never meant to substitute your missing pieces. So, although there are lot of things between us, that I guess always will be there, I want you to know that I’m sorry, and that I truly want you to be happy. I’m not done growing from this and I won’t be for a long time But I’m done letting this define me. Because life is more than my love for you

Life is More Than My Love for You
I knew life was more than my love for you. I just got lost in the idea that I'd suffocate without you by my side. But I knew that with time and space, the sun would come out and I’d remember how to breathe again. But I guess, I never anticipated this bittersweet feeling that arises when my mind wonders back to you. You’re getting married this weekend, which I’ll admit still surprises me after everything. But I’m not shocked, nor am I angry anymore. I’m not as broken as I thought I was. And through this time, I learned that you didn’t break me. But rather that, I broke myself trying fix you.

So, although there are lot of things between us, that I guess always will be there, I want you to know that I’m sorry, and that I truly want you to be happy. I’m not done growing from this and I won’t be for a long time But I’m done letting this define me. Because life is more than my love for you
