Carta al hombre que me salvó

En primer lugar: Gracias.

Before life surprised me and brought you to me, I was miserable. I didn’t even want to live. I had had enough. I was depressed and broken. Love had beaten me down.

El amor era mi mayor enemigo.

Before you came along, the man who I thought was ‘the one’ used me, and when he was done, the only thing he left were the shattered pieces of my broken heart. He didn’t care. He moved on.

Yo era la que tenía que curarme sola. Fui yo quien tuvo que luchar contra la depresión. Fui yo quien tuvo que encontrar el valor para volver a salir. Él simplemente lo retomó donde lo había dejado.

And then you came. You carefully took me and brought me back to life. You didn’t have to do that. It would have been easier for you if you didn’t do that. But still, you wanted to.

Gracias, señor.

Thank you for all the times you’ve been by my side. Even when I asked you to leave me alone, you were there. You kept your distance and you gave me space, but you were still there.

Thank you for every time you’ve climbed the walls I built around me.

Gracias por encontrar la manera de llegar a mí.

Gracias por recordarme lo hermosa y digna que soy.

Gracias por respetarme como yo te respeto.

Gracias por loving me when I felt I didn’t deserve to be loved.

Desde el día en que llegaste a mi vida, me di cuenta de que había anhelado tu llegada. Me di cuenta de que mi vida de repente tiene sentido. Me di cuenta de que te había echado de menos todo este tiempo.

Having you by my side has brought me happiness and nothing else. Now, I know for sure, I’m going to be happy for the rest of my life. Now, I know I’m going to be loved unconditionally. Now I know I needed this—I needed your unconditional love from the start.

I thought that no one can understand me—that I am all alone—until you showed up and convinced me to think otherwise. Before, I imagined I would estar viviendo una solitaria, sad life, but now, I can’t imagine a life without you.

To my love, the one that saved me—thank you for showing me that life is so much more than pain and suffering. Thank you for helping me learn to love myself. I would never have succeed if you hadn’t given me your unconditional love.

Thank you for putting up with my ‘crazy ideas’ and my different sides. Thank you for being there for me when I am at my worst. Thank you for smashing every single brick that I lay when I start building the wall around me. Thank you for not letting me hide inside.

Gracias por amarme con mis defectos y mi pasado. Gracias por compartir la carga de la vida conmigo. Gracias por quererme.
