I tried

Info

Hey Ex, how have you been?

This is a bit funny but, I miss you


I just want to say, that I tried.

I tried hard to be a person that would suit you perfectly

I tried hard to change myself just for you

I tried to make you happy

I tried to be the source of your hope


But I guess I didn't try harder


I used to blame myself, because you left

You left with lots of excuses


I just realized soon,

Of how stupid I was to chase after you, even though I know you've already found a replacement for me within a day


Can you believe it? I must be that replaceable, huh.


When you ended everything between us, I did nothing but cry and cry and cry.

 I cried straight for 3 days until I thought of chasing after you.


Yeah, I chased after you. I guess you're too numb to realize


Like a dog, desperately chasing after her owner


Even though you did lots of things that really hurt me,

No matter how many times you do


It's okay.

It doesn't matter anymore


I've already moved on

I'm no longer mad at you

I'm no longer affected

I'm no longer hurting


Some say that to move on, you have to forget.


Forget everything between you and that person, forget the person, to be exact


But,


I don't think so.


For me, moving on isn't about forgetting.


It's about letting go.


I mean, why would you want to forget that one person who became a very special part of your life?


Even if that person hurt you.


Even if that person's the reason why you're still hurting.


At least he or she was there.


That person moulded you into the person you are now.


He moulded you to be a greater person.


He taught you a lesson.


And you learned something.


Something very important.


"You have to lose something to gain something" that's what they say.


You might've lost that person, but thanks to him or her, you learned something, and by learning something, we become a great person.


So Ex, I should be mad at you, but instead, I'm thankful that you came to me. To my life.


I'm thankful that you turt me.


But even though I wasn't perfect, believe me.


I tried.
