Loved enough

 From Mirror of mind

I loved you enough to let you go so you could stop

hiding, stop pretending, and finally be with

whoever you truly wanted without lying to me or

continuously hurting me in the process.

Because real love should never require constant

deception, confusion, betrayal, or begging

someone to choose you honestly.

And as painful as it was, I finally understood that

holding onto someone who keeps breaking your

trust only destroys your peace, your self-respect,

and your ability to feel emotionally safe.

I loved you enough to let you go -

so you could stop hiding, and be

with whoever you choose without

lying to me or hurting me.
