I don't have to erase it just because he is trying to.

I don't have to erase it just because he is trying to.

​I get to hold onto the truth of what I felt without needing his permission, and without having to adopt his rewrite of history. Loving what we had doesn't mean I want him back in my life as he is right now; it just means I am human enough to honor the beauty of what was real for me.

Hopefully this is the last I write about him.
