A Letter In Your Shoes

What did you expect
For me to do?
When you turn to me
And say "I love you."
After all the pain
And all those lies
After you hurt me so badly
And all the times that I've cried.
Look. I'll never go back.
I've found someone new.
Someone strong and independent.
Someone caring and true.
I loved you at one point.
But those times are gone.
You've changed, I've changed.
It's time to move on.
Our time is over. 
Get used to it hun,
You had your chance.
We're done.

Good for you for giving it to him straight, Laura, and moving on. I'm glad you found "Someone caring and true." Once trust has been broken, it's almost impossible to turn back the clock and go back to the way things were before. Well done! Love, Carolyn
