Chance after chance, my heart broke a little more. I gave you a million chances to prove yourself and you disappointed me every time.

Even though you couldn't be the person I needed, I don't regret all the chances I gave you.

You gave me happiness, joy, and laughter. You also taught me how to be independent and not rely on someone else for my happiness. You made it hard for me to let you in, when I did it was a wonderful feeling. You were there for me when I needed you most. I hope that I was that person for you as well.

Everybody deserves a chance to redeem themselves. Eventually, I stopped getting my hopes up, but I never wanted to sell you short on a chance to make things right. I know you worked so hard to make things right, but it was never enough. You have so much going on in your life. The last thing I want for you is to be someone who gives up. I know what it's like to feel like everyone is against you. That's why I'll always forgive you and why I'll always be there for you.

Everyone told me you didn't deserve another chance, but I never listened. They saw the ugly parts of you and they picked up my broken pieces. However, I'll always be thankful for the chances I gave you. You taught me so much about forgiveness, mercy and patience.

I don't regret the chances because you are so important to me that I believe you're worth fighting for. I believe you're not easy to give up on. I believe that we can weather any storm. I believe that you can overcome the darkness that drags you down.

Most importantly, you've taught me that I can't save you. I can pray for you, I can love you, I can forgive you, I can inspire you, but I can't change you. I can't make you the person I know you can be. Only God can give you the strength to overcome your darkness. I can't be your savior. I want to save you more than anything, but I've come to accept that this is impossible. I will continue to let myself down if I try to be responsible for your actions.

You're still letting me down and I'm still giving you another chance. I'll continue to ask God for the strength to make it through the pain that will come. He has a greater plan for us than we will ever know.

"Second chances are not given to make things right. But are given to prove that we can be better even after we fall."

Three things will always remain true. I'll always love you. I'll always forgive you. I'll always be there for you.
