It hurts to feel betrayed, to feel broken. Its a pain to feel a heartbreak such as that I've experience from you. I felt I knew you, I felt that I loved you and vise versa. We were a ride or die duo and nothing could ever part us; or so I thought.

It would be wrong to hold a grudge. So that I won't. Forgive you I will, because its the right thing to do. Why have the burden on my heart, but I do understand, it will be hard for things to ever be the same -- you hurt me so, and that I could never forget.

Family is family, regardless of what you said. You're blood, you were a role model. You were my friend. But the thug in you couldn't settle; of course you wouldn't have it any other way.

Never in my life did I think that words and actions could pierce and soul as solid as mine, could penetrate my heart, so bold. But you, my sweet have managed to do so, and have managed to break me down to ashes.

All I wanted was your respect, just for a minute or two. But now I see how you really feel. That the past to you is only the past. I still cherish every moment we spent. And while I'm willing to put this behind me, I will never be able to look at you the same way again.

So here I am. Just me. To the world I say: Take it or leave it, for you will receive nothing more. If you don't like it, fine. For I can walk alone. I'm strong, I'm intelligent, nothing can conquer me. At times I may grow weary, and at times I might appear to be unsure. But in the end, I realize, that though good friend can sometimes be of service, I can only rely on myself.

So I don't bid farewell to thee, for this shall not be the end. Maybe a change for the better, for everything has its purpose.
