As bad as it was, as bad as it hurt, I thank God I didn’t get what I thought that I deserved. Sometimes life leads you down a different road. When you’re holding on to someone that you gotta let go. Someday you’ll see the reason why. Sometimes, yeah, sometimes, there’s good in goodbye.

This is not a goodbye, my darling, this is a thank you. Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy, thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return. Thank you for the memories I will cherish forever. But most of all, thank you for showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.

Leaving Lost Love

The cost is self-destruction in the process. The cost is you hurting me to get there.

I can't sit here and wait for the respect I deserved this whole time. I can't sit here and wait to be loved, when I'm giving the best of myself. I can't sit here playing a game. It’s like a game of Jumanji. Either something is going to kill me along the way, or I’ll finish.

I don't have it in me to finish. And honestly, I think right now I'm living only half alive because of you. Cause you've chewed up and spit out everything I am. And I'm not the same person that I was before I fell in love with you.
