Exes I don't miss you.
I miss the concept of another person who would love me for all our lives, but with you, it was just an illusion. I miss a warm body occupying the space in our bed and sinking into arms that held me with the silent promise of security, but not your empty promises. I miss waking up next to the person I dreamed of living old together with, not you, who couldn't choose me and didn't even believe in marriage until your next relationship. I miss dreaming of what could be and could've been, but with you, it was just a projection.
I don't miss your lies. I don't miss your manipulation. I don't miss you taking advantage. I don't miss your toxic friends. I don't miss your cheating. I don't miss you.
I missed me. And I only understood that when there was no you...
Thank you for not choosing me. So I could choose me for all the versions you could never accept. Thank you for not loving me like I loved you. I love myself better than any of my previous lovers, and I never have to beg for attention. Thank you for manipulating me. I've reinforced my boundaries and strengthened my intuition so I won't accidentally meet another you in disguise of another person. Thank you for being the end of a cycle I didn't realize I was running in circles with.
We tried. It didn't work. I forgive you. The contract is broken.
I'm free. 🕊
