A LETTER TO AN EX

for all those smiles you threw my way
for all those times you made my heart dance
for all those times you made me breathless
for all those times you made me laugh
for all those times you enlightened me
for all those times you made me look at myself critically
for the dreams you shared with me
for all the disappointments i was privy to
for thanking me 'cause i made you laugh
for the conversations
for the messages
for the take cares and i miss you's and i love you too's
for the hugs, the virtual kisses
for the days you somehow made complete
for the lessons i learned through you
for trying your best to not hurt me
for taking the time to talk to me
for staying up late or waking too early
for everything else that i might have forgotten to mention

i am grateful.

and i know that it was such a short time
and i know that i might not have even left a mark
but know that you left an imprint in me that even time would never diminish
a part of me will always be in love with you

i'm sorry i have to go
i'm sorry you had to make me go
i am just sorry.
