Thank you, for leaving me

We had a good run

Thank you, for leaving me.

You went away and it hurt, and it kept hurting.

Thank you, for making me realize how close I was to you because when you left it created a space that no one else could ever fill.

Thank you, for making me realize that you were not willing to do sacrifices as I did for you.

We were not romantic, but you were the closest person to me.

Thank you, for making me realize that I was helpless without you.

Thank you, for not being there to hug me when I got my eyes red because of crying.

Thank you, for not holding my hand when I was shaking out of anxiety.

Every night I would come home and I would look at the painting of us you gave me, and I would think of you. The painting was here but you weren’t.

Thank you, for making me believe that all good things do come to an end.

Thank you, for making me believe that no matter how much you love a person, you will eventually get hurt by them.

Thank you, for making that quote real which said “If you overlove someone, you lose them”.

Thank you, for making me not want to get too attached to any other person ever…
