Can't Touch This

All you had to do was take that tiny step, take a chance, risk it...but you were too afraid.

That's a good thing for me - no, really.

See, I'm worth so much more, and now someone else has the chance to see that, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

He's around the corner. He's going to be willing to hold on to me, no matter what, and he's going to be a very happy man.

Yes, I have my insecurities, like every woman.
I have days when I feel like I'm worth nothing.
I have days when I don't want to get out of bed and face the world.

Your words.
Your silences.
Your hesitation.

A wake up call, a moment of clarity.

You made me realise how foolish I was being. I kept trying to understand where you were coming from, why you were saying and doing all those things, and, in the process, I forgot all about me.

I forgot to congratulate myself for being so strong, for not falling apart, for not giving in, for not giving up.

I forgot that I've been through a lot too - it's not just you.

I forgot that I learnt valuable lessons from my experiences and mistakes.

I forgot to forgive myself, understand myself, and care for myself...because I was so busy trying to make your life easier.

It's a two-way street...and you just proved, in so many ways, that you don't deserve me.


Thank you for making it easier for me to let go.


This is goodbye.
