It used to be much easier to forgive than to forget .

I could sing your praises a thousand times

Read our stories a million more

Rewind our favorites movies

til the salty river on my face runs dry

I remind myself that YOU sank the boat

You drown the us in the you

You deprived me of the air i needed

You held me below the surface

You told me you never saw a future…

How could you when we were both drowning

Being by your side was love to me

But

I realized…

Love isn’t suppose to take the life out of you

It suppose to rejuvenate.

As blinded as I was by you..

I learned

Learned that i don’t need you to be my light

I don’t need you to guide me

I can build my own ship

Better yet

I am strong enough to swim

I am enough for me

I am worthy of everything this dull earth has to offer

i deserve as MUCH love as you do

So here you go…

I won’t forget you

You left a mark on my heart

But I forgive you

I’ve had for a long time
