a decade

A decade has ended. I have no regrets as I walk away with a shattered heart and my head held high. I can do this. I am stronger than this. Love is powerful but there is more that I need. More that he needs. We failed at a life-long relationship but we did not fail at love, at effort, at compassion. We are stronger now then at age 17 because of each other.

I am single and not going back to him. Not calling. Not texting. I am strong even when I am weak.
