LETTER TO (Guy I Thought I Knew)

I wish someone had warned me before I met you that I’d fall this hard.
That I’d love a guy.
A guy who wasn’t ready to love me; A guy who was unworthy
Don’t you dare say I didn’t cry; I didn’t fight for you like the world was on fire, because I did.
When you tell it back please tell them that I cried; how I pleaded with you to stay, how you left anyway.
Tell them the truth; not that I used you.
Make sure to tell them about how deeply I loved, how I gave myself up for you in the name of love.
Let’s talk about that; for once let's speak facts instead of letting everyone blow smoke up your a**
I want you to tell them everything that was and is; tell them what the world has come to since then.
Go ahead papi tell them everything, all the good and all the bad
But, don’t forget to mention everything that lead to that.
You tend to have selective memory; but only when it comes to me
This time, it won’t be that easy.
I won’t let you forget; push it to the back of your mind; emotions entangled with regret.
I want you to remember, acknowledge the truth; accept that I was way... too good for you.
This is a letter; to the guy I thought I knew
It’s long overdue; but, I forgive you.
For all the pain you’ve caused; I ...... thank you.
For you’ve pushed me to move on.
To let go of all that comes with this; me and you, the territory;
I’ve come through
My dear friend; but, I’ve lost you.
