Dear Reggie

i'm sorry to say, you used to be the warmth of my heart.. now i sit here apologizing to myself cause i've realized my wrong.. sitting at the house, crying to myself cause i knew we'd never have a happy home! but see, I let you downsize me, play me, & prove my insecurities right.. I refuse to let you lower my self esteem another night.. I see since we've been over, your luck has kinda dropped.. your confidence used to be up top.. but i've noticed that change . . Listen reggie, I know you feel stupid.. you left me for her, she left you for him & he left her cause it wasn't real.. I'd be a lie to sit here & say i miss you. .& i'd be a double lie to say I'm still "IN" love with you; cause see, you never know what you have until its gone, but now; i've found a happy home; with someone who gives me more smiles than tears. . things have really changed in these 2 years; I'm sorry reggie... NO, i'm happy Reggie.. cause now you're just a memory tucked away with the other things i've lost..!
