I know you think you ruined my life when you broke my heart, and for a while, I might have agreed with you.
There were days when I didn’t want to get out of bed and nights when I cried myself to sleep.
But it’s an amazing thing how something so devastating can tear you apart…but then makes you realize who you really are.
I know you always underestimated me the whole time we were together, thinking I couldn’t make it without you and that I needed you to be happy..
But when you decided to take that away from me, I took a good hard look at myself.
Yes, my heart was in pieces.
Yes, I was down and out.
Yes, I couldn’t see the light..
But then, you see, something inside me woke up.
Maybe being completely lost in the darkness helped me finally see the light I hadn’t found for so long.
But in those days when I was falling apart,
I realized I was falling into something better.
The real me.
Every day, I put another piece of myself back together and forged my armor stronger.
Every time I thought I couldn’t do it, I found a way and grew braver.
I stopped dwelling in what had been and started envisioning what I could become.
No more wallowing or feeling sorry for myself.
You thought you destroyed me, but all you did was give me the fire to become better, wiser and stronger.
You showed me what I don’t want out of a relationship and most importantly,
That I’d forgotten who I was and how to love myself.
Pretty soon, I won’t think of you and cry, I’ll smile instead.
Thanking you for setting me free and fueling my drive to rise again better than ever.
I’m not going to let anyone ever cage my spirit again, because some hearts were meant to stay wild..
And I’m just one of those creatures.
So, you did more for me letting me go than you ever did pretending to love me.
Not only did you show me the way to become better,
But I took every piece of my heart that you shattered and built it into the most formidable armor ever.
Because of you, I lost myself..
But because of you, I was forced to evolve.
After all, you’ll never keep a good person down.
