Thank you.
I have a confession to make.
I am so grateful that you don’t love me anymore.
I know.
Crazy.
But I am absolutely over the moon
Completely relieved
That I will never hear you say “I love you”
Again.
Today I wanted confirmation
That I am beautiful
And vibrant
And kind
And smart
And you weren’t there to tell me so.
So guess what?
I said it to myself.
And for the first time
Ever
I believed it.
And I get it.
I
Get
It.
All the love I’ve wasted
Waiting for you
And everybody else
To prove it to me.
I get it.
No words
No actions
Could ever have provided me enough evidence
To convince me
Of my value
Of my worth
Until now.
Until you stopped loving me
So I could love myself.
