This is the most beautiful thing I've ever read to really describe what I did. I didn't think anybody would understand but I know you do. I wish the person that I let go would understand it the way you do. But instead he hates me for it. He hates me because I let him go and there was nothing else I can do being with him or him for me. Thank you!!!!!!!!! Really!
