Moving from the resentment
I guess all I could truly say is thank you for what I learned through this. Maybe that’s all you were meant to be for me. Maybe we were never truly meant to be. Maybe my souls lesson was to stop choosing others the way I’d want to be chosen. And I’ve been learning this repeatedly in this life. You were the greatest lesson on this. I will not look for you in the next life. I will not search for the love that was never meant for me in the first place.
I truly thought, and still do, that you were my love for several lifetimes. Whatever we went through, whatever love we shared, clearly it was meant to be infinite. But now I wonder how many times you’ve betrayed me. Let me down. Chose someone else instead of me. I wonder now why I could never believe in such a love like this, and it’s because yes, it was never meant to be. It was too good to be true.
I will grieve you. Just as I have in every other life. I’ll do it again. And I’ll make sure to remember it, seal it in my body, that I will never accept a love like this again. I will remember you, and if I ever run into you again, I’ll make sure to run the other way. I couldn’t trust you in this life, I don’t think I’ll be able to trust you in the next.
You were my greatest love, but the biggest lesson. And if there is anything I could try to take from this, it’s that. You were a lesson, a painful one. A truly, deeply, painful lesson. Thank you for teaching me the truth. Thank you for reminding me what I had forgotten. Thank you for showing me the reality. Thank you for the hurt. The pain. The betrayals. Thank you for reminding me that true love only exists in the movies, not in real life. Thank you for reminding me to ground myself. To love myself. To choose myself. Thank you for reminding me to keep my walls up. Thank you for reminding me that there is no real romantic love. There is only suffering.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for letting me go. Even though I ended things, it was you that drove the stake through the coffin. It was you who showed me I didn’t belong here. It was you who reminded me that I’d never be chosen the ways I thought. Thank you for reminding me, humbling me, and being the lesson I needed. Thank you. I still don’t forgive you. But I can at least say thank you for this.
Maybe that love was once real. Maybe in the past lifetimes, the love was real with you. Maybe that’s why I believed in it so much, I knew in my heart it existed once before. But that’s all. It existed once.. but never again. Not the same way. It won’t ever be the same again. Thank you for loving me in the last life time or whenever it was we met. Thank you for being the lesson I needed in this one.
You’ll find a new love again. I know it. You’ll be fine. You’ll be okay. If you wanted me, you would’ve chosen me. But you didn’t. And that’s okay. You didn’t want me. And that’s okay. This lifetime wasn’t meant for us. And that’s okay. This love was never meant to be. And that’s okay. In the end, we will die, and we will never speak about this again. You’ll never have to relearn this lesson through me again.
Maybe all these feelings will shift. Maybe I won’t feel so angry and hurt and betrayed. Maybe things could change. But that’s just wishful thinking. That’s just hoping for something that never was true to begin with. I should’ve believed you when you said you’d never choose me. That you’d resent me. I should’ve believed you. I should’ve taken your word. I will now. Your actions have spoken loud and clear. More than your love could now. You made your choice. Now go be happy with her. Let me fade away from your mind. I was never real for you to begin with.
