"I have no regrets - and why would I? Sure you broke my heart. Sure, you keep coming back into my life and doing it over and over again. But then I think about the memories, and the peacefulness of thatone time. Then all the sorrow, pain, and the resentment go away. I don't want you back in my life however I want to say thank you for making me the person I am. For making me realize that I deserveway better than you and that you aren't worth my time anymore. So thank you."

I made this one because there comes a time in life when you just can't take the pain anymore. But then there comes a time in your life when you realize that you are made up of all those mistakes andheartbreaks and that made you who you are today. We may be in pain - but we will be better people later on in life.
