Freedom
Finally, I have the freedom
That comes with forgiveness.
No longer will I dwell on the past
Or the marriage I blamed on ruining my life.
I see now it was my choice
I knew you had problems
You were beyond my help though.
You presented a false front
But I knew you were a liar.
The whole beginning of our relationship
Was built on a lie, I'd have accepted the truth
And I chose to let it go.
Something I'd normally never do.
Scared of being alone? Or the heartless
No second-chance giver.
Now, two years divorced, I see
To hold on to the anger has been poisonous.
I can't keep letting it ruin me.
I need to be able to trust to be able to move on,
I need to not be afraid of what you did.
Because not all men are like you.
Even though most of the ones I dated were
wrong for me.
I have met a lot of good ones
But I haven't given any a chance
In case they were wearing a mask.
So to move on, I must forgive you
And I truly hope you're doing well.
Sometimes I wish we could have stayed friends
But you wanted all or nothing.
So I don't know anything about you now.
I wish I could tell you
I wish you had picked to remain.
