We’ve both said a lot of things lately
and I admit that much of it has been unpleasant
but I’ve found another way of thinking
and I wanted to express this idea
before it slipped away.

You taught me something important
through all this
and I very much appreciate
what you’ve done.

It has been a rough series of months
I’ll allow
but I think I’ve become sturdier
because of it.
I have grown necessary callouses
and stretched muscles
I hadn’t considered before.

You hurt me
a lot
but the hurt
has made me hardier
and that’s all because of you.
I know things
about myself
and it’s only through this experience
with your multitude of lovers
and being locked out of my apartment
in the dead of winter
and having those thousands lifted from my account.

Al right
it’s slipped away.
Fuck you very much.
