Why do I want to forgive him?

Because I’ve been angry at him too many times to count. And now I want to free myself of any resentment that I have felt towards him and his situation.

I forgive him because although I am disappointed in his empty promises, there is nothing left in being miserable about what someone has or hasn’t done.

I forgive him because carrying any pain about us has an expiration date and today is that day.

I forgive him because I am done having any ties to him and our story.

I forgive him because I don’t want to be angry or feel hurt when I see a picture or story of him with someone else on a tabloid magazine.

I forgive him because one day both of us will have moved on and it might hurt for me to find out publicly but it is a truth that I will have to face.

I forgive him because my future is too promising to give to the past.

I forgive him because I am better off here today having been through the lesson of what our relationship entailed.
