tuesday night, and my freedom.

It's the look in your eyes when you tell me you care. There's a certain twinkle I see. I feel it in your hugs and your warmest kisses. I hear it in your voice. Your actions reminded me who I was to you.

It's gone.

Now who am I to you?

I admit to my flaws, and yes I did wrong. I'm sorry. You have forgiven me.

Have I forgiven you? No. This post is my public announcement. Time does heal all, but there are things I don't forget. I relive the pain almost everyday, but I chose how I want to relive it. Do I cry? Yes. Not as much as I used to. Letting go is hard, especially when you're close to something you want, but things you want aren't always what you need. It took me a while to learn that. I'm still learning.

There are so many things I have wanted in life but do I honestly need it? If I needed it, it would have been provided, but it hasn't.

Let it go, Sharisse.

If I hold onto you, or the past or anything I don't have, how can I look forward, or even be grateful for what my future has in store? My future is so bright, I have no idea what's in store, but I believe that the higher up already has it planned for me. All I need is time.

How do you forgive? Time. Time is an answer for all problems. I can't change anything in the past, I can only change how I view my future.

Your future is based on your past, but you don't need to carry the pain of the past into your future.

Just let it go, Sharisse. Relax, and let it go.
