I believe that despite all odds that say otherwise, that people are inherently good.

Giving up on people just isnt my style.
And although you gave up on me not so long ago, I will never give up on you.

Youre probably wondering why.
So here is the truth.
The brutal, honest truth.
It hurt more than words will ever be able to describe.
And it hurt even more, because I warned you.
I gave you a way out.

Before you got in too deep, I told you it was going to get too deep.
I told you I had been hurt before.
You crossed your heart and told me Im not going anywhere.
And yet, you did.
And there I was, alone.
And for some reason, I believed you.
I let you in, I trusted you.
I let my guard down, for the chance to feel truly loved.
And you took that chance with a grain of salt.
You took the love I deserved, and you threw it all away.
Im not going to lie.
I was angry at first.
For a while, for a long time actually.
But pain changes you.
I felt angry, and yet sad.
I felt relief, and yet extreme anxiety.
I thought to myself your loss and yet I also thought I dont blame you.
And then as time passed, circumstances changed, and so did I.
But now, now those feelings and thoughts are just a flickering memory of who I used to be.
And Im more me, than ever.
How could I hate you for not loving that broken little girl, when even she didnt love her?
And that, that is why Im not angry, or bitter, or sad.
Because those emotions are that of a person that hasnt healed.
Really, really, happy.
For the first time in my life.
Here is the thing, we were both incredibly broken and hurting humans.
I believe that YOU are inherently good.
I know that you loved me in the most pure and human form.
You loved me the best way you knew how.
And sometimes, we have to love each other from a far.
I believe thats what you did for me.
Instead of believing like I once did, that you did something horrible to me.
I believe you did the best you knew how, for me.
