I suck at saying goodbyes.

I would marvel over how I couldnt find a single trace of you as though you never exist.

I would have a hole in my memory where all my happiest times with you used to be.

I’m Not Sorry For Leaving You

Lisa Fotios

I would hold none of the bitterness and resentment inside me and truly let you go.

That would ensure that I wouldnt have to grieve for all the times lost.

I wouldnt have to be a shadow of my previous self and feeling the heavy burden on my shoulder.

I gave you so many chances hoping to make it work and you took me for granted.

But I know that I will be okay.

Looking back, I have come from a long way.

I accepted less than what I deserved because I believed that I was unlovable.

Im so glad that I parted from you.

Im so relieved I managed to walk out that dark part of my life.

In fact, this experience only makes me grow as an individual.

I learn how to be truly alone and I enjoy it more than I thought I would.

You didnt ruin love for me.

My capacity to love only grows deeper and Im filled with such fierce love for myself now.

I am encouraged to chase after the forgotten dreams that I never dared when I was with you.

I learn to build myself up from the rock bottom realizing how I do not need you.

I now know how toxic our relationship was and I would never compromise my standard for my next one.

Im not sorry for leaving you.

I only wished that I had done it sooner.
