i'm glad.
i'm glad to have overcome you.
you little infesting disease, eating away my soul.
pouring sweat, late night calls,
begging for a refuge.
a refuge for the undesirable.
a refuge for the sick.
a refuge for the lonely.
we're all refugees of love,
looking for substitutes,
afraid of slipping into a relapse.
hearts will be broken again,
tears will be shed,
but therein lies the beauty.
the beauty of not knowing.
the beauty of knowing that you still have a heart.
the beauty of drowning in your emotions.
the beauty of being able to still be a human.
they say i'm manipulative.
they say i'm greedy.
they say i'm haughty.
they say i'm easy.
they say i'm everything that you're not supposed to be.
but who are they to say what i am?
they don't know me.
not a single bit.
the sexually adventurous kind will never back away from an opportunity to explore.
the door is open.
the door is inviting.
the door is new.
the door is unknown.
the door is there for you to try, to experience, to learn.
this is your chance, young friend.
take it - but promise me one thing:
do it with care.
do it with passion.
do it with love.
do it like you'll never get a chance to do it again.
you are no longer in my heart.
i am letting you go.
the trial period is over.
you have taken a little part of me,
but i am willing to release that part of me.
because i know that in the big picture,
this is just another glitch,
amongst many other bigger glitches.
i now understand much more,
i now believe that the world is not the kindest place.
but that will not discourage me from spreading love,
and most of all,
finding love.
goodbye my friend, i wish you a very swell life.
and if our paths intertwine, we shall see if either of us has changed.
then we will decide our fate.
this is the life.
do we make it?
or has it already been made for us?
maybe i'm right. maybe i'm wrong.
but for now, we shall wait.

Agreeing with you about the pain in love , but pain of not loved by some one is even better. you can think about all this only once you have loved one .
love is about sacrifice and keeping the loved one happy.
but nicely written by you

Amazing and heart-felt.
Writing is perhaps one of the most therapeutic things to do after a rough patch in life, especially as scarring and emotionally wrecking as bad relationships. The positivity in your work however, is heart-warming. You're doing the right thing by moving on, and writing about it to lighten your heart.
It takes some courage though - something I pray we all can muster when need be.

I hope the "I'm glad" feeling was really glad about the characters problematic feeling that sure is not haunting it.
I love the way you weave your words, like gathering them bit by bit and then knitting them together one stitch after the other until you have this fabulous piece. I just absolutely love it .
This is just a very lovely work, I love it . Keep writing
