Thank You

I am strong because of you, vulnerable no more. I had to grow a backbone when you walked out the door. I am no longer needy like the woman you left behind. I've learned to stand on my own two feet and I now know my own mind. Independant and self-aware I am now, because of you. So I thank you for all you did when you told me we were through. I wouldn't be that woman again if you offered me a million bucks and as for you and your life now, well I really don't give two... figs.
