Everything reminds me of you. It would be easier to stop loving you, if I could see past all the good memories and see all the crap you put me through. Realize that I deserve better, but that’s hard to see when the good times outweighed the bad.
You took advantage of my loving heart and took control over it. You knew my love had no end so you treated me as if I would never walk away.
You were wrong. One day, I finally realized my worth and walked away. I deserved better, I deserve someone who won’t test my limits and take advantage of my good heart. You always made me feel like I wasn’t enough. Like I was a second choice and there was better out there. So I fought for you. Fought for what I thought was best for me.
But you were never good for me. You blurred my reality. I was worth so much more, than to stay by your side and get treated like trash. You always pointed out my flaws, and made me feel worthless.
You never saw you flaws though, you thought you had no faults. You had me convinced you were perfect and I was flawed.
It wasn’t fair. I was brainwashed into thinking I didn’t deserve better, you made me forget my worth and lower myself to your cold-hearted manipulative level. You had my heart in the palm of your hand and just kept breaking it.
Now, I am gone. You have no control over me, because I can see clearly now that I deserve so much better. I deserve someone who will love me with their whole heart, not just break mine. The next time I love, it will be someone who truly loves and respects me.
This broken relationship taught me not to try to salvage a broken love, especially if you are the only one trying. A relationship consists of two people, the love and respect in the relationship should be equal. I believe in love, and one day someone will love me the way I dream of.
Love isn’t easy, but I hope one day that it will be worth it. You weren’t the one but I learned lessons from you I would have never learned.
My heart may still ache, but one day I will be whole again. Someone will love me the right way.
