The Advantage of an Unreturned Text Message.

Closure has just been delivered to me.
It was uncalled for, and forceful.
But was so truthfully benefiting in prevalent ways.
Now I’m certain, my decision was a correct one.

I was surprised, that I could gain so much,
From something so simplistic.
Nothing complicated, and no answer needed.
But the idea, that my capabilities did reach this far.

It was never your fault to tie me down this harshly.
I doubt you even knew how tight your grasp was.
But now that I cut the strings created by my own confusion,
I can move on to something with a steadier progression.

Consider me now the butterfly you admire from afar.
With a spunky, confident, and self-empowered flight pattern,
That you would have never expected to have seen from this caterpillar.
Yes, that cocoon spun out of insecurities, was within your possession at some point.

Apart from gaining a sense of freedom,
I have now recollected my confidence.
And this inability to believe in myself, that was carried for two years,
Has suddenly vanished in an instant.

I want to personally thank you for this journey you provided.
I’ve learned a lot about who I am, what I would give up,
And how strongly I would stand by my morals.
You’ve set the standards high on what I want out of a companion,

From now on, there will be no more yearning.
Catheterize constant torture in my mind.
No more scrutiny on my part,
Because that just tore through me easier.

Just know this is my farewell to you, for good and long.
Even though the hello was only one sided...
