Why do I want to forgive him?

Because I can’t hold onto an idea of him.

I forgive him because I would be lying if I said that he hasn’t disappointed me.

I forgive him because I’ve given this and us all that I can. And, now it’s time to move on.

I forgive him because I know that he did his best and although I want to hate him to make this easier, he is still lovable.

I forgive him because anger hasn’t ever served anyone in the process of growth and change.

I forgive him because in all the time that I have known him, I do not regret anything.

I forgive him because a part of me wants to go back to the past but there is nothing to go back to.

I forgive him because I have my non-negotiables in life and it is not personal.

I forgive him because I am and always will be grateful. He has served his purpose and if it doesn’t happen today, I will make peace with our separation in time.

I forgive him because ultimately, everything is exactly how it’s supposed to be.
