💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 An open letter to those whom I thought I could trust,
Whom I thought were potential friends and now we've lost touch
Due to misunderstandings that caused us to detach,
Or one of us thought the other wasn't "good enough":
~•~
Do I miss you? To be honest, no, and that's a fact.
I feel more free now that we're no longer in contact,
Freed from the worries of witnessing your misconduct,
Your disrespect, your huge pride, your unrequited "love".
~•~
I thought you could be a friend, but you wouldn't give that -
Assurance that you're someone whom I can fully trust,
Who isn't manipulative, selfish, jealous much,
Insecure or low-key envious of what I have.
~•~
You're not an enemy. This is not a long-term grudge.
My distance and avoidance are meant to protect us,
From swapping rumors and gossiping like it's a drug
To concealing truths, faking and wearing two-faced masks.
~•~
Learn from the past and remember Allah is our Judge.
My choice to disconnect doesn't signal your soul's loss.
As strangers I believe we're safer and better off.
Let's strive to earn Jannah where shaytan can't divide us.
~•~
