Joyful Absence

Your absence brings me joy.
Your presence isn't missed.
I am happier now.
I want to forget you exist.

I thought our friendship was meaningful
Until you decided to split.
Well it really is your loss
Because I realize that to me,
You never meant ****.

I am happy making memories with my new friends.
I am not sorry that you were replaced.
I just wish every happy memory we had together
Could be erased.

I am not sorry, if that makes you upset.
I have not a single regret.
Next time I see you.
I will pretend we never met.

I will avoid you like a disease.
I won't  look at or talk to you
Even to say "Bless you" when you sneeze

You made the mistake when you threw me away
I am better off without you.
Now I'm joyful every day.
