A Few Simple Words Gave Me My Freedom

I saw this quote today and it all suddenly made sense.

“Thank you for letting go as I wouldn’t have walked away”

**********************************************************************

I often write of heartbreak and tears

And the lessons this has taught me,

Then I found some simple words

That made sense and set me free.

***

A simple quote, a few simple words

“Thank you for letting me go,

As I wouldn’t have walked away”

You’ve done me a favour, I know.

***

I couldn’t see it past the pain

But reading that simple saying,

Put it all in better perspective

The silver lining it’s portraying.

***

I can now travel with a lighter heart

I can see what you’ve done is right,

We were meant to crash and burn

Hence why you never put up a fight.

***

So instead of my anger, my pain

Or my regret and my remorse,

I can instead say thank you

For insisting we change course.

***

Now I can send you my gratitude

With my final word, “goodbye,”

I’ll dry my tears, harden my heart

And move forward with my life.
