Day One

Day One

I want my peace back.
You will no longer control my life.
I am stronger because of you.

And I hope you are new again.
I hope you can start over.
I hope you can forgive yourself.
I hope you will forgive me.

I hope you are changing.
I hope you changing for yourself,
Not for me, 
But because of me.

I hope you meet someone new.
And I hope you treat her the way she should be.
I hope you love her,
Like I loved you.

I hope you are unapologetic,
Unapologetically yourself.
I hope you are the person you always wanted to be.
I hope you think of me,
And are able to forgive yourself.

Because I have forgiven you.
