Thank you for letting me down countless times. Thank you for keeping secrets that made me feel that I wasn't worth trusted for. Thank you for constantly lying about who you really are. Thank you for making a big fool out of me. Thank you for bringing out my worst side.
Thank you for showing me that you can be completely happy with someone else but not with me. Thank you for leaving even if I give you everything I had. Thank you for letting go and reminding me that I was the only one holding on. Thank you for all the times you made me feel blue. Thank you for making me believe that all the times I spent loving you was infinite, but all was just an act.
Because if you hadn’t done all these things, I wouldn’t realize my worth. I wouldn’t realize that I should finally stop settling for any less than I deserve. I wouldn’t realize that I want to find a love that would never make me feel the same things you did.
And I know I will, eventually.
I hope you know that I didn't quit, I just simply chose myself instead of continuing to try for someone who wouldn't try for me.
For now, knowing that is enough. I am enough. I know I am, even if you didn’t.
God bless and thank you for everything.
