I’m so glad you never came back begging.
I’m so glad I let you go.
I’m grateful I had to face the worst of you—
because it made me stronger than I ever was before you.
I learned the greatest lesson of all:
being independent is my greatest strength.
I’ve learned so much about myself.
I no longer need your advice or your acceptance.
I hear you found out the grass isn’t greener on the other side.
Now you’re stuck—and by the way, it’s your own doing.
I waited two decades, and honestly, I’m so relieved we never went down that road.
I think of you often, and sometimes you visit my dreams.
But I no longer have to take your abuse.
I’m so thankful I never have to explain myself to you again.
I’m glad you went astray with her,
because if you do it again, it’s on her.
Taking you back was the worst mistake I ever made—
but it ended with the most incredible outcome.
