a great perhaps

I’ve been holding on to you for far too long. You had your chance to sweep me off my feet. You had so many chances. You will never read this, that I am sure of… but either way it doesn’t matter because without you I am better. I am better without someone who couldn’t give a damn unless it meant they themselves were hurting. As much as I try to forgive you, I hold so many damaged parts and painful recollections of the past. I wish I could free all of those things from the inner workings of my mind, and soon enough I will. I’ve been trying to let go of the hopefulness you quickly stole from me, and I’ve been making much progress. I hope I can forgive you somehow.
