She was yours. And you were hers.

She loved you.

She devoted every waking moment to you.

She was faithful. She loved hard.

She made sure you knew your worth, but you failed to show her hers.

You failed to do a lot of things.

You failed to keep her heart safe.

You failed to let her know she wasn't competing against other women.

You didn't put her first, even though you were always her number one.

You were always the one she wanted to make happy the most.

Even if it meant putting her own happiness in jeopardy.

She tried to make it work.

She always wanted to see the good part of your heart instead of the bad.

She wanted to stay.

She wanted to grow with you.

She wanted to make you her future.

She had so much planned for you two.

She hurt every day, but she kept fighting.

She wanted you to change.

You promised her you'd change.

But days went by.

Months went by.

Years went by.

Everyday was the same.

She was always fighting for your attention.

While other girls were catching yours.

She knew she had to go.

But it broke her heart to do so.

She knew she couldn't stay.

For her heart had endured to much.

She needed to find herself again.

She needed to know she was worth more.

She was left heartbroken.

But she knew it was the right thing to do.

She packed up her shit because she had enough.

It was that moment you realized she wasn't coming back anymore,

Her self worth and pride was more important now.

She deserved better and she finally had the strength to realize it.

So she took her heart back.

Everyday she glues another piece back together.

She still thinks about you.

But she knows shes headed to a better place.

Everyday the thoughts of you lessen.

Everyday she learns a new way to smile.

Everyday she gets stronger.

Everyday she learns her new "norm".

You see, you were so much of her life. Everyday for the past few years you were all she knew. You were her comfort, her smile, her laugh, you drove her crazy.But you started to become her hurt, her tears, her cry, and instead of driving her crazy you drove her away. You needed to look else where for comfort, and love when you had it right in front of you the whole time. Thank you for finally letting her go. For now she can breath again. She can live again. She can put the pieces back together and learn to love again. But just so you know, now she will always be a little more cautious. Shell have a harder time trusting. Shell have a harder time falling in love again. But a woman like this doesn't come around often, one day a guy is going to walk into her life and wonder why any guy ever let her go.
