Means to an end

Every so often we justify our actions by believing that the “ends” out weights the “means”. Using someone’s love to obtain what you want in life is cruel and heartless. If you are unable to love them just for the sake of love then let them go. The broken heart you leave behind once they discover the truth is shattered beyond repair.

Recently I was told that you really never loved me and all I was to you was a “means to an end”. That would explain why you were cruel with your love, mean with your words, and even selfish with your compassion in the end. Just because you couldn’t have what you wanted?

To be nothing more than a “means to an end” so you could outshine all your friends is selfish. Tell me, was I that to you? Having a man who loved you more than any man could ever love a woman wasn’t what you wanted? Why? Who cares what others have, but that's not how you see life. And in the end, you will be left empty and alone.

What goes around comes around and many believe that's what's going to happen to you and me. Karma balances life out in the end. Strange, in spite of how you treated me, I don't wish for you to hurt or suffer. You see, I believe that if you really love someone the way I loved you, then you can never hold a grudge or wish harm to come to them. I loved you for what I saw deep down in your heart, the part of you that is possible of loving just for the sake of love. I hope someday that part is able to shine through. I hope for your sake, that part still exists.
