GRATEFUL FOR THE GOODBYE

GRATEFUL FOR THE GOODBYE
I thought you were the real one
The kind of friend you don’t replace.
But you broke my heart
And scattered my trust like glass on the floor.
Everyone knew your name,
Yet you chose to break the bond
I protected with loyalty.

I was left with questions
Was it me?
Did I offend you?
Did someone whisper lies?
Or did you simply change?
Answers never came.

So I let you go
Not because it was easy,
But because I had to.
Your absence made space
For new faces,
Real friendships,
Hands that rebuilt what you destroyed.
People who taught me
What trust should feel like.
Now we’re strangers,

From worlds that no longer collide.
Yes, you were once the best I had.
But growth required distance.
One day, you’ll understand.
Until then
Thank you for leaving.
