I knew they were the right words because they were true.

Those last words…finally.

The other day, I hit send.

I found the courage to speak my heart, to let it bleed out honestly and raw.

I found the right words, and I hit send.

I wrote what are likely to be the last words you ever hear from me.

I knew when I sent them, what they meant either The End or New Chapter.

But they also made me feel free.

I know tomorrow, Ill cry even more tears, and my body will hurt more.

I knew then as I know now, this was the consequence I had to choose to endure.

I had to let go.

I didnt want to, I still dont.

But, I had to.

I had to let go of the hope that you were in my life still.

I had to let go because I had no control, and trying to believe I did was exhausting.

I hit send and knew the risks.

I knew they could be misinterpreted.

I knew they could be laughed at.

I knew they could push you further away, truly sever that final thread of friendship.

I knew the words I sent you were right to potentially be my last.
