Forgive me for putting all the blame on you when everything was falling apart.
I was selfish to think that I was the only one hurting.
Im sorry, first love, for quietly accepting your faults and shortcomings.
Thanh Tran
I refused to believe that I couldnt help you become the best version of yourself.
I was too scared to let you go.
I didnt realize that my pain was causing me to hate you.
I dont hate you.
I truly loved you.
You dont have to say youre sorry for me to forgive you, first love.
I am done retelling the ugly parts of our narrative.
I accept that my expectations shouldnt have discounted your efforts.
I understand that you tried your best.
We just have different ways of making our love felt.
I forgive you, first love, for choosing to build your future without me.
I have accepted that your tomorrows are meant to be shared with the right person.
I just wasnt the one for you.
I now know that it wasnt easy for you either.
I now understand that in the process, you were hurting too.
Our love wasnt perfect, first love, but I believe it was right.
I am thankful that through you, I learned to love better.
Its time for me to finally close this chapter without any bitterness.
So, for the last time, I am sorry, and I forgive you, first love.
