Thank You For Letting Me Go

You led me on my truest path to finding love

To the ones who gambled and lost a fortune;

Me:

You don’t belong anywhere near my heart

there is no you and me

nor an us

not a thing between us

except distance and memories.

Never again

will you make me question myself

forget that the reflection

in the mirror

is worthy of the world.

You spent forever

giving me every reason

why I was not the one.

So here you go,

my present to you

wrapped in a sweet bow;

is this proclamation

of thanks.

Turns out you were right,

I was not your one,

was never yours

and always will be his.

Thank you for your gift

of throwing me away.

He caught me

will never let me go,

not treat me as an afterthought

never use me

or abuse me.

He will only love...

love today

love tomorrow

love me always.
