Tolulope Christopher Babatunde,
I never thought we’d end this way,
You came like light into my world,
Then slowly walked away.
You taught me lessons I ignored,
Showed me truths I couldn’t see,
And even through the shattered parts,
You helped me find me.
So thank you… thank you, Tolu,
For everything we’ve been through,
Thank you for the love we knew,
And for the pain that made me new.
Thank you for jilting me,
For making me finally see,
That sometimes losing someone dear,
Is how we learn to be free.
Thank you for the bruises left,
The scars I had to hide,
Thank you for the memories,
The tears that I have cried.
Thank you for showing me,
I was not enough for you,
But in that painful ending,
I found strength I never knew.
So this is not goodbye in hate,
No anger left to prove,
Just gratitude for every lesson,
And every broken move.
Thank you, Tolu…
For the good memories too.
Thank you…
For helping me become me.
