Relief

"I never want to erase your story, even with the tragedy it brings."

You did a few bad things to me, and you thoroughly deceived me. However, I am not speaking negatively; I am solely stating facts. I can say many things about you but I won't. You have taught me more than any university can teach me, and there were times we shared have impacted my life in the most positive of ways. You taught me how to become a woman. I could not ask for a greater gift. I found my vindication not in the arms of another man, nor through the acquisition of a well paying job, or any other worldly fortune, but rather in experience...by growing, by loving, by learning, by sticking to my feelings and owning up to who I truly am. There are a lot of questions I have always wanted to ask you. We always had a good time together. You would upset me, then kiss me and all of sudden, I forgot that I was upset. It took some time, and there's definitely some rough patches even still, but I finally did it. And for what it's worth, it was worth all the while. I had the time of my life. I thought it was impossible to stop loving you and forget you...... Well, I have.

From the bottom of my heart,
Denise
