Understanding Poem by Patricia Chapman

I now understand
It took me a while to comprehend
but i finally understand

The heart break
the pain
and the sorrow

It wasnt all for nothing
if anything it was to make me stroger
A better woman

I know understand that loving you
and caring so much
wasnt for nothing

If anything you made me a better person
Im not afraid
to leave

I know one day
i will find my true love
Even if it is not you

Even though i went through
all of that
and thought you were the one

I forgive you
Im not made at you
or hate you

I actually thank you
for making me see
that i dont need to have someone

just to be happy with myself
I have to love myself first
before being able to love anyone
