A Later Note to Hasbeen

Dear Hasbeen,
It has been a long time and you might be surprised to see the words,
Thank You.
Thank you for saying all those nasty things about me. Thank you for showing me that everything happens for a reason. Thank you for showing me how crazy I can get when I really like someone. Thank you for showing me that karma still works and that I ended up better. Thank you for making me stronger.
I am finally free. I have a clear head and when I look back on this I wouldn’t change a thing. Like Kelly Clarkson said, “I picked all my weeds but kept the flowers”, and you are my last weed. You still may think that I am out to get you and still I am proving you wrong. Being the better person truly does make things better in the long run.
I am happy for you. You have a girlfriend that you think is crazy about you. I ran into you the other day with her and I felt nothing. Not a speck and I owe it all to you so for the last time thank you, thank you, thank you. Have a great life.
Finally with freedom,
Old Friend.
