But then I think about the memories, and the peacefulness of thatone time. Then all the sorrow, pain, and the resentment go away. I don't want you back in my life – however I want to say thank you for making me the person I am. For making me realize that I deserveway better than you and that you aren't worth my time anymore. So thank you."
