This goes out to all of the people
who have been broken,
but have been strong enough to let go.
For the people who have hurt so badly
that they felt that they could never love again, but kept their head up.
For the people who learn from their mistakes and never stop moving forward,
even when they take two steps back.
For the people that wish loneliness wasn’t a part of them, but put up with it anyhow.
For the people that are okay with taking up all of the room in the bed, even if it sometimes feels a little empty.
For the people who wake up in the morning with no missed calls,
but smile anyway.
For the people who periodically miss the past, but are so much more excited for the future.
For the people that have wounds still healing.
For the people that have so much tied to their past relationship,
but break those chains to start fresh.
For the people that want to look back so badly, but focus on the road ahead.
For the people that pick up the phone
and are tempted to call,
but keep their dignity intact instead.
For the people that never wanted to let go,
but had to.
For the people that still believe in love even after all of the hurt their heart has endured.
For all the people that gave up,
not because they were weak,
but because most times,
it’s better just to let go.
We’ll all get our happy ending someday.
My love with you all -ways
