Ink Stained Soul…

To the man I end up spending my life with some day, I hope you know that before I decide to take a leap of faith with you, I will have laid my past ghosts to rest. The one I wrote about for so many years, the man I struggled to move on from. I want you to know that when our story begins, he will be a memory that I’ll cherish for the lessons, growth, and hope he brought me. I hope he’s found the one who makes his heart soar, just as you make mine. I want you to know that I’ll carry him with me always, because he was worth carrying. We both grew from the experiences we shared, and though it was difficult, we became better because we broke free from each other for our future selves. The love I have for him doesn’t diminish the love we will share; instead, it’s a testament to my capacity to love and grow.
