[Guest Post] I Forgive You

This post is an anonymous contribution. Respecting the privacy of the writer, I’m ending the introduction here.

I forgive you. Really truly I do. I forgive you NOT for your sake but for my sake. I forgive you because you hurt me so deep that it left me fully capable of turning myself into a bitter person for the rest of my life. Someone who is cynical and has issues with trusting anyone. I want to be happy and look forward to a joyous future. Not someone who is forever stuck in past just because of a single person who failed to keep simple promises.

I am not going to let someone else’s cowardliness affect me. I hope you realize that I was not just a mere object of comfort. I was a ‘person’ fully capable of being loved. A person who wants to be cherished, loved and wanted and is not a ping pong ball to be simply thrown away because suddenly it doesn’t seem the ‘right’ one anymore.

Maybe one day you’ll be sorry for your actions, perhaps feel bit guilty as well. Please don’t. Because I won’t be needing your sorrys or guilt or your petty excuses. What I needed, you couldn’t give me. Whatever are your strong valid reasons, they are just petty excuses in my eyes. But just to make myself feel better, I forgive you. I really truly do forgive you.
