Finally Farewell!
You made me feel that I was someone, that what I said mattered. I felt more important when I was with you. You gave me confidence. You kept me from making a fool of myself in public when I became emotional. You were always there for me if I was lonely. You comforted me when I was worried or stressed. I had you with me all the time, in the good times as well as the bad. I know 40 years is a long time to be together.
Now you have to leave. Go! You may have regrets about this, but I have none. You cannot remain in my life; there is no room for you. In this short time we have been apart, three months, I have become a different person.
I know that I am someone who matters. I have confidence and self-esteem in what I have achieved. I do not always need to hide my emotions in public. I have made new friends now, so I am not lonely. There is far less worry and stress without you than with you. The bad times will always be bad whether you are there or not. The good times are much better without you. I feel free of the control that you had over me.
I will not even say “Goodbye my friend.” You were no friend to me, I see that now.
You were a parasite. You were feeding from me not the other way around. You have done your damage, so go! Get away from me forever.
