Good people dont play with others feelings.

Good people dont manipulate.

Good people dont lie to get what they want.

I tried so long to keep you because I was so afraid of what life would be without you.

But now I realized there was no reason to hold on.

Sure, sometimes I miss you.

But I realized Im okay without you.

I dont need you in my life.

And for so long I thought I did.

What would life be without you?

Going from telling someone everything to not even speaking is a weird thing.

You lose a part of yourself.

You lose a comfort that you had.

But did you really lose that much?

You gain self-confidence back.

Because you gave me mixed feelings.

High highs and low lows.

You made me question myself.

You played games, knowing fully that I would always be there to catch you.

How does it feel to know that wasnt the case?

That you dont have me anymore.

I wonder if you still think about me.

If you miss talking to me.

You confided in me.

Told me things you didnt tell anyone else.

And I think for both of us, the loss hurts.

But sometimes hard losses become great gains.

I know you cared, but not enough.

I wish you had.

But Ive begun to realize that not enough can never become enough.

Halfway there isnt there at all.

And I hope maybe one day you will learn.

I hope you learn that you cant use people.

That you cant just have everything you want.

That you realize you hurt the people you care about along the way.

Im sorry we cant be friends anymore.

Im sorry we cant be anything anymore.

I dont necessarily think youre a bad person, but I dont really think youre good, either.

I hope for your own sake you figure out your own life.

And why you continue to stomp on hearts.

I know you think youre a good person, but maybe you should look in the mirror.

Keeping these people in your lives will only drain you.

They do not deserve one bit of your energy.

At the end of the day, I regret wasting time on the wrong people.

But I take it as a lesson learned.

You will look back at that period of your life and be glad to leave them behind.

Cutting out the bad people leaves more room for the good ones.

The kind of people you want in your life.
