They say time can heal everything, but what about space? Space allows me to think. Put myself in everybody's shoes. I get a bird's eye view of this situation when your presence isn't strangling me.
It gives me power, to have a million different views than the one I had when it was just you and me. A view that says you and I aren't perfect, we both have flaws. But in order to make it work we both need to sacrifice.
Is it really worth my time and energy and soul to work this out? I always thought it was, but I knew it was too much to handle for you.
So I let it go and it hurt. So bad, for so long. But time did really heal me. Because now, I don't need you. Neither do I need anyone else. My close circle is enough to make me happy and there aren't any sacrifices here.
I let "us" go, and felt so liberated. I reinvented myself, my thinking. Now all I am is that person who talks to anyone who is feeling what I went through with you. I just wish they can make peace with their past and remember them as only happy memories.
Pure, pristine and only mine, the memory of loving you will always always be my favorite kind.
