Id rather not tell you that before I met you, I was the happiest Id ever been.

Id rather not tell you the details of my assault.

We can be united and aligned through our pain, but also through our perseverance.

A Short List Of Things I’d Rather Not Tell You

Jamie Davies

All I will say is #metoo, and offer my compassion and understanding.

Id rather not tell you that before I met you, I was the happiest Id ever been.

I was happy because I did that on my own…and you took it away.

But youll never know the impact you made on me because you dont deserve that.

You were someone I never wouldve given a chance to, someone I could never picture myself with.

Id rather not tell you that I forgave you but I cant forget what happened.

I will always forgive but never forget.

It taught me how to stand by standards I set and never go against my instincts.

Those painful memories were reminders of what to never accept again.

Id rather not tell you the reason we drifted apart.

I dont want you to turn the tables on me as you always did so easily.

I choose to move on without calculating you as a friend… without calculating you at all.

What Ive come to understand so clearly is that my unspoken words have enabled me to heal.

And I will never say that its okay you didnt choose me, because I didnt need you to.
