I PUT AN END TO OUR RELATIONSHIP BUT IT ONLY GOT BETTER

I put an end to our relationship, but it only got better;

Because we now relate with each other on our terms.

The one I offended did not stay offended,

I'm glad he got to see myself.

Was going to apologize, but then I remembered

The reason behind my actions last December—

You can't keep losing to win people,

But it wasn't all plain and simple, I still had to deal with guilt.

But then I got his message and felt old resentments,

But then it quickly went away:

An opportunity to bury the hatchet,

I grabbed it with both hands!

Later, in person, I apologised,

Water under the bridge, under the bridge,

I put an end to our relationship,

But then it only got better!

This depicts the story of a testy relationship that got on my nerves for years. Last year, with some amount of disrespect, I carefully put an end to it. But then he reached out this year, I'm glad the dynamic had changed. Now, we both understand that I dance to my own tunes (by God's grace, and no one else's!) But more than anything, I'm glad he reached out, and presented me an opportunity to bury the hatchet.
