Thank You
Dear ex,
No. This is not a letter with a whole
bunch of "I hate you's",
telling you how I wish I never met you
asking myself "why did I even date you?"
This is to tell you, thank you!
Thank you for allowing me to
love you you more than I loved myself.
Taking the love I showed you
and given it to somebody else.
Thank you!
Thank you for making me feel low
when I counted on you more than ever.
Breaking me down to my lowest
where I felt the hurt would last forever.
Thank you!
Thank you for ruining me beyond measures,
where I would spend days praying
that my days would get better.
Nights I've cried, asking myself why?
What did I do to deserve this pain?
Was it me?
For my insecurities , it was you I use to blame.
For that, I was foolish.
To think someone was suppose to love me
more than I loved myself.
To think someone who treated me
like you did, would only try to help
fix me while I was broken?
I was foolish.
Thank you!
It only made me understand
and appreciate myself.
Thank you!
