It's okay

The first

yes, you ripped my heart in halves

you told me you loved me,

that you wanted me,

yet treated me like a second choice

multiple times.

I kept going back,

in hopes you'd change

and because you had all these pieces of me

that I could never get back

or give away again.

but you never changed,

you kept tearing my heart in

halves and halves and halves.

until it was just a bunch of pieces in my chest.

that hurt, to be quite truthful,

it hurt incredibly bad.

but I healed.

I learned not to be second choice.

that I am worth more than a

toxic, soul-sucking monster

of a relationship.

I healed.

The second

wow, what can I say?

so unexpected, you and I.

an infatuation with each other.

a seemingly endless puppy love.

but it ended as it started, unexpected

I'd like to thank you, truly.

for allowing me to realize

I don't need to settle.

I am worth more than a relationship without substance,

based purely on physical attraction.

you didn't even get to know me.

So, yes

I have realized I am worth more than the hurt.

Thank you,

and I really am okay.
