you have my attention

Now that the dust has settled and my temporary fix is no longer present; I can look at this with clear eyes.
I have been hurt many times, but none as bad as when I don't feel appreciated or loved. I needed to remove myself from an unhealthy relationship and friendship.
Things are going to be difficult, he was my best friend and lover for a long time. But I have to keep in mind that it is for the best.
Each word is a stab to the chest. Each new lie that peaks its way into my consciousness almost breaks me.
But I will not be broken by this. I know what I have to offer, and the people who truly love and care about me know that as well. Maybe I only have a few friends, but they mean more to me than anyone could.
Thank you to everyone who has held me up through this long ten months. There have been many of you, and I owe you all my life.
I will smile, I will not stop smiling. Because I know that with bad comes good. And despite how hard this is right now, there is something better right around the corner.
I will not shed anymore tears for this forgotten love.
I will not cry for something so far gone.
I am okay.
I will be okay.

Now if only I could believe it.
