For years you had my heart in the palm of your hand,
always playing around with my feelings.
Until I had enough and decided not to worry about you anymore.
I moved on, and found someone who appreciates me,
the way that you couldn't.
Still I couldn't push you out of my life.
You remained my friend, but even now, you hurt me.
We've grown distant, and thats understandable,
but sometimes we try to get close,
and our difference of opinions always get in the way.
I lose my temper after you are an asshole to me,
after you hurt me yet again, and I decide to hurt you back.
Soon we stop talking, and then one day one of us will instant message,
the other, or try to break the ice.
And everythings okay.
Except for today.
You didn't forgive me this time, and maybe its best because,
you always hurt me, and I always let you get away with it.
So I'll forgive us both this time, silently.
So that you'll never know,
and you won't hurt me anymore.
I'll let you go,
and let you out of my life,
forever.

It's really hard to make a clean break with someone you were so close with at some point, any point. And when it's not a clean break like that, the constant hurting is so awful and yet you never really want to say goodbye.
I feel you, and I'm proud of you.
Strong write, very well conveyed...really beautiful. And inspiring
