You were able to speak the words, "I'm sorry", but we both knew deep down that you did not truly mean it with your heart. A true apology is spoken in more words, with less anger, absence of deflecting, and it brings a positive change.

But you did not change, you only got worse.

I know that part of it may have been my fault. I ignored your disrespect over and over and over again, which you took as permission to keep disrespecting me more and more as time went on. I allowed you to toy with my heart, as if it was something that could be played with.

Not anymore.

The kindest and most empathetic person has a limit to how much disrespect they can tolerate before they become a shell of who they used to be. I would have stayed by your side for the rest of my life, if only you had chosen to give me the love and respect that I truly deserve.

I love you, but thank you for finally letting me go.
