Te quiero, pero no me mereces

Te quieroTe quiero. Pero me quiero más a mí. Te di todo lo que tenía. Me esforcé tanto por ayudarte, con la esperanza de que volvieras a valerte por ti misma.

I tried so hard to make you feel loved, hoping that you’d see that you’re worthy of it.

But you didn’t, and honestly, I can’t take it anymore.

I bent over backwards to show you that I still love you and that I don’t want us to end, but now I see the man I loved is long gone.

Ese hombre de alguna manera se perdió en el camino y te convertiste en un tipo que sólo toma, pero nunca da. Un tipo que me ve como su roca, pero que es incapaz de ser la mía.

A man who thinks everyone is out to get him, that he’s the only victim. I love you , but I can’t take this anymore. I can’t keep on being the one who’s always to blame.

I can’t keep on being the bad guy when I’m not. I love you , but I love me more.

You hurt me and even though I miss you , I know I no longer deserve this heartbreak . I don’t want to get over you , but for my own sake, that is exactly what I need to do.

For too long have I let men control my happiness, but now it’s time I wished you good luck and took the control back.

Te quiero, but you don’t deserve my tears. How can I stay with you when you’re the guy who caused me this heartache ?

You are supposed to wipe the tears from my face. You’re supposed to kiss them away. You’re supposed to keep me from crying.

Instead, you’re the one making me cry.

You’re the one whose actions break my heart every day – every time you let me fall asleep alone, every time you let me go to bed thinking that I’m not enough, every time you let me walk away without coming after me, thinking that I’ll come back.

But not anymore. You don’t deserve my affection and commitment. You don’t deserve my attention anymore.

My feelings for you have not disappeared overnight, but my respect has. I am finally ready to admit to myself that it’s the end of our love affair.

I wish I could say that you deserve better , but that’s not true.

I deserve better than you and by letting you go, that’s the only thing I will go after now.

No dejaré que mi desamor me defina y mantendré la cabeza bien alta. Puede que me hayas roto el corazón, pero mi espíritu sigue intacto.

Seguiré adelante y volveré a encontrar mi lugar feliz.

Te quiero, but you don’t deserve my devotion. I’m done giving you everything and getting nothing in return.

I’m done giving you all of my time, all of my love, all of me, just so I would fix you.

I’m done making an effort and watching it go unappreciated and unnoticed.

I finally know that it’s not up to me to fix you. I’m not supposed to give away parts of me to complete you.

I’m not meant to lose myself so you can find yourself. That’s toxic love and I’ve had enough of it.

I used to think that I was the one whose responsibility it was to mend your heart when you felt broken. But it’s not.

That’s on you. I can only give you so much without getting broken myself. Heartache is not something to be shared.

Just because you are damaged doesn’t mean I need to be too.

Y por eso acepto el final de lo nuestro. Sé que mi esfuerzo y mi devoción merecen ser correspondidos, y son cosas que tú nunca podrás darme.

Te quiero, but you don’t deserve my heart. You don’t deserve my love , and you don’t deserve to share my happiness or my pain.

You wouldn’t know how to appreciate it anyway. You never did.

Me diste por sentado. Seguiste tomando y tomando partes de mí sin siquiera comprobar cómo estaba.

Me utilizaste como un cubo de basura, siempre desahogándote conmigo, pero nunca mostraste interés en ayudarme. Yo también estaba rota. Yo también estaba triste. Yo también te necesitaba.

¿Alguna vez te importó lo suficiente como para ver el dolor en mis ojos? ¿Hubo algún momento en nuestra relación en el que me vieras de verdad?

Not the woman who’s here only to help you, but the woman who loved you with all of her heart, the woman who was ready to spend the rest of her life with you?

¿La mujer que tiene su propia historia, su propio pasado y sus propios sueños y esperanzas? ¿O sólo era conveniente tenerme cerca?

My mother always told me, ”Either make him see your love, devotion, and sacrifice for your relationship or show him the door!” and I am finally listening to her advice.

Esta es mi manera de demostrarte que yo era demasiado bueno para ti de todos modos.

Marilyn Monroe lo dijo mejor que nadie:

“I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.”

Te quieropero you don’t deserve me. Ya no mereces mi cuerpo, mi mente ni mi alma.

Me diste por sentado, y ni una sola vez luchaste por mí. Ni una sola vez me demostraste que estabas dispuesto a comprometerte conmigo, que estabas dispuesto a comprometerte con nosotros.

Not once did you make me feel loved, and I don’t deserve that. I deserve more than to be half-loved. I deserve more than to just be there when you need me.

Merezco a alguien que me quiera, que quiera pasar tiempo conmigo, que haga todo lo posible por poner una sonrisa en mi cara.

Someone who will want to date me for the rest of our lives, not only because I’m good for him, but because he loves me.

I deserve to be loved, and, let’s be honest, you never loved me. You saw me as the all- American girl next door, but there is so much more to me than that.

Solía pensar que te echaría de menos a ti y a nuestras noches de Netflix y relax más que a nada.

The way you stroked my hair as I was falling asleep on your shoulder – God knows how often that happened. But those are all things I am determined to forget now.

Tiene que haber alguien más ahí fuera que sea capaz de darme lo que merezco sin necesidad de comprometer mi felicidad.

I choose to believe God has better plans for me than this, and that’s what is helping me push through.
