Better off without you
When you decided I wasn’t the one for you anymore,
You helped me realize a couple things about myself that I never realized, I guess I never knew.
Yes, I’ve been battered, broken and bruised, and really thought I’d lost my way completely, but stupidly, I thought I always had you in my corner.
Turns out, you weren’t in this for me after all.
Truthfully, I had started to lose who I was trying to neet you're needs, trying to make you happy.
They say sometimes love just ain’t enough..
This is one of those times.
You wanted me to be what you wanted, on your terms, in your way.
You had this picture of who and what you thought I should be..
Your happiness mattered more than mine, and it always would.
I thought I could change to make you happy, but I lost me in the process.
Did you ever really love me for me?
Or was it just what I embodied and represented?
Did you ever really see me for who I really am?
When you saw that I was strong enough to stand up for who I was and wouldn’t give into your selfish requests..
You decided that you’d had enough.
Getting what you wanted meant more than supporting and loving me in the way I deserved- for who I truly was.
Now that I’ce walked out of your life, I can’t help but cry inside.
Cry for what I thought we had.
Cry for what we could have been.
Cry for love that I wish was real.
Maybe you loved me in your own way, hoping that I would change to be everything you wanted me to be..
But that’s just it.
Love is acceptance.
Love is understanding.
Love is true.
I’m just glad I saw the truth before I lost myself trying to please you.
I’ll never forget the times we had and the smiles we shared, and you gave me the greatest support at a time in my life when i needed it and for that I’m so very thankful.
Nothing and no one will ever change my self worth, because I won’t let that happen.
My jagged edges and imperfect flaws are just the things that make me beautiful.
You didn’t appreciate that about me, but someone will, someone has.
That’s where I’ll find my happily ever after.
Loving another imperfect person perfectly.
Some people were meant to be in you're life at a time and in your heart always, but not your life.
