Over You

I never saw it coming; if I had, I would have run away from you a long time ago. For years, I loved everything about you, loved everything you did, and loved everything you said to me. My heart was so connected to you that I thought we would be together forever. Those moments we spent together will forever be etched on my heart and mind. But they say nothing lasts forever, and that was the case between you and me. We indeed fell short of having a lasting relationship. It was not in the cards, and it did not play out as I had thought.

But now that it is all said and done, I can see that you were never the best for me; you were selfishly toxic to me. Seeing it through brighter eyes, I cannot believe that you were the one who ultimately let me down. I never doubted you, but now I can see that it was just all about you; you never really cared about me. What you did to me just left me cold and numb, entirely out of breath. You took a hammer to my life, my heart, my very being. You made me wander far away from my home, and then one day, you just left me all alone. You certainly took the best of me.

Now that I am finally getting better, it is time to write this letter. Today, I know that I am better off without you, even though I still may be a bit lost. People say that when one door closes, another opens, and that truth has become a reality. Today, there is another love in my life, and they have given me so much more than you ever could or would. All those scars that you placed on my soul have been healed with a relationship that I would have never known, and one that you tragically could have never provided.

I know now that it shouldn’t have come as a surprise. So goodbye forever to you, and I thank God for introducing me to my new love that will always be true and will love me unconditionally. God is now the love of my life, and that day I thought I would never get through, well, Mark Harmon, I am “Over You.”

Galatians 2:20-21

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”
