Finally Over

When you left, I thought a part of me went with you. I went back and forth asking myself why. You took away my self worth, my dreams of us, and my heart. I caught you in the wrong too many times to count. No matter what anyone said, I stayed by your side. I was there when we had nothing. I let you make me feel so bad about myself. I cried myself to sleep countless nights. For a while, I even thought I deserved you. I never got an apology, no matter how many tears I cried. You leaving is now and will always be the best thing that has ever happened to me. I was dumb enough to believe that you loved me. But you know what they say..love is blind. And how true that is. So go live your pathetic life, never knowing the meaning of love. Nothing I have ever said or done compares to the pain you put on me. There's just something else I have to say..and that is thank you. Thank you for making me open my eyes so I could see the real you. Thank you for hurting me so bad that I realize how strong I really am. Thank you for making me appreciate the right man when he does come along. Most of all, thank you for walking out of my life so someone better can walk in.

Wow, its been almost a year since I wrote this. So much has happened. Dane Ann, I am married now. I reunited with someone that I was with in the past, and got together right after I wrote this poem. We got married July 22, 2010. He is out of town right now and unable to be here. I have real, true love. My ex..the guy that this poem was about...Well, let me tell you this.. We broke up May 2009, and I let him come back 3 times which was a MISTAKE. He went back to her every time. I moved on finally
