I did my best to be understandable even when you behaved beyond all understanding. When you weren’t calling or answering text messages for days, when you didn’t have time for me, when you said hurtful things.
You didn’t even have to make excuses, I did it for you. I always created the best possible scenarios before thinking of the worst.
I think I was even too good. That’s why you took me for granted. You counted on the fact that I’ll be there for you, whatever you do. To listen, understand and support.
To wait. And now it seems to me that I spent my time waiting for the right moment, waiting for you to be ready, for you to start treating me better on all levels. And the sad truth is, if you hadn’t left me, I would still have been there waiting.
This is why I write this to you, to thank you for leaving as you did. If you hadn’t done it, I would still be waiting in vain. But in this way, you gave me the chance to see that I can stay alone. That I feel much better and more peaceful now that you are no longer in my life.
So thank you and goodbye forever.
I wrote it all with one breath and I felt like I was going to pass out after pressing the “send” button. I had no idea that I would send this text before I did it. It had never occurred to me before. It was just one of those moments when you do something silly and irrational.
However, I felt so relieved after I sent it! After writing all that overwhelmed me, my broken soul was finally relieved. I felt better having said all these things that were hidden inside. I felt like even the weight of my heart was lightened.
When I finally realized what I had done, I panicked a bit. I was wondering what he was going to think of me.
Was he going to believe that I was pitiful to have sent this? Would he think I wanted to get it back? And suddenly it hit me, I didn’t have to worry about what he or anyone thought of me.
I hadn’t done it to bring him back. I hadn’t done it out of hatred or out of love. I did not expect an answer, which by the way never came. I did this for myself. To complete this story. To tell him to God, what he did not have the courage to do.
