È ora che scelga me stesso al posto del tuo quasi amore

Ho deciso che ho chiuso. Ho deciso che non sprecherò più il mio tempo aspettando che tu mi ricambi. Ho deciso che mi merito di più.

I know that I deserve to be loved. I know there is someone out there for me who will give me everything I need, who will keep me in his arms always—not only when he feels like it.

Maybe it’s foolish of me, but Credo ancora nell'amore incondizionatoora più che mai.

Now that you’ve crushed my dreams of spending my life with you, I’m even more sure I will find someone who will.

I’m just tired of interpreting your mixed signals. I’m tired of playing this game you made up. I don’t like the rules because they only suit you.

I fell in love with you because I thought there was more to you. I’ve seen your potential. I’ve seen that if you wanted, you could have been almost perfect.

But you decided to stay the same. You decided to be an almost lover. Well, I don’t need that.

Non siete mai stati chiari sulle vostre intenzioni. Non hai mai detto cosa vuoi veramente. Perché se avessi saputo che volevi questo, non avrei mai firmato.

It’s like signing a pact with the devil—you’ll get everything you want but there is always a price. Mine was a broken heart.

Mi hai fatto credere che avremmo funzionato. Mi hai baciato con passione and sent me love texts. You stared at me while I wasn’t looking.

You slept by my side and pretended like nothing happened the next day. Friends don’t do that.

Ti ho dato il meglio di me stessa e non ho ricevuto nulla in cambio, se non promesse a metà e parole false. In effetti, l'unica cosa che ho ricevuto da te sono state le parole, mai i fatti.

That wasn’t enough for me. I could have spent my whole life waiting for you to do what you said you would.

Ma, fortunatamente, ho avuto il coraggio di tagliarti fuori e di continuare a cercare qualcuno che facesse tutto quello che tu non hai mai fatto.

What you could never realize is that love doesn’t come in bits. It either is or it isn’t.

Volevi tenermi da qualche parte nel mezzo. Volevi tenermi nella zona del quasi, dandomi di tanto in tanto quel tanto che basta per restare.

You gave me false hope. That’s why I have no respect for you. You could have been a man and said you don’t love me to my face.

Instead, you falsely reciprocated my feelings. You tried to fool me, but you couldn’t fake love.

No one can do that. You can try, but you’ll fall apart at a certain point because you’re not happy being with someone who isn’t the right one for you.

I’ve decided I deserve so much more than you. I’ve realized I deserve the true love which you could never give me.

I’ve decided to move on even if it hurts me—and it does.

I’ve decided I should take that risk because I don’t want to spend the rest of my life unhappy, thinking what would happen if I’d left.

Now, I’m turning over the next page of my life and leaving you behind. It’s time for me to write the next chapter of my life—a happier one where I finally choose myself.

Ho scelto me stesso perché I don’t want to settle with someone who is uncertain about me. I know what I want from love and that is not what you gave me.

I don’t want a forced kiss goodbye when I leave the house. I don’t want a text you send me just because you think you have to. This is why I chose myself this time.

It’s because I want everything you almost do to be done to the fullest.

Ho scelto me stesso perché I’m tired of second guessing everything you do. I’m tired of thinking through your decisions to find the real motive because I know it’s not me.

I chose myself because I’m better off without that.

I chose myself because I want to give myself a chance to meet someone who will do things because of me—a man who will do things (even the ones he doesn’t like) because he wants to do something for me.

Ho scelto me stesso perché I don’t love questa versione di me stesso while I’m with you. I don’t want to be exhausted and empty and you made me that way.

Every negative thing you say hits me right in the heart. Every word wears me down each day more and more and I don’t want to become that version of myself.

I chose myself because I need someone to lean on and that’s not you. For now, that someone is me and maybe in the future, it will be someone else.

When you push a woman like me to her limits, she will crack and you will lose her forever. You’ll probably regret it, but it’s going to be too late.

Sceglierò me stesso ogni volta because I don’t want to be anyone’s second choice. I think I deserve to be someone’s priority as that someone is going to be mine.

I want to be someone’s girlfriend because he wants only me and no one else. I want him to be happy that we are going to spend the rest of our lives together.

I will choose myself every time because I don’t need someone who will hide the fact that we are dating because he thinks he probably could have found someone better.

Voglio qualcuno che mi tenga per mano con orgoglio e che gridi il mio nome al mondo.

Voglio qualcuno che mi presenti ai suoi amici e alla sua famiglia perché ci tiene abbastanza a me.

Sceglierò me stesso ogni volta because I don’t want to settle for less than I deserve. I don’t want someone who will love me almost.

Voglio qualcuno che faccia un passo in più per me, perché io farò lo stesso per lui. Voglio un amore che mi faccia venire le farfalle nello stomaco.

Voglio un uomo che sia l'ultima cosa a cui penso quando mi addormento e la prima cosa che ricordo quando mi sveglio.

Sceglierò me stesso ogni volta because I don’t want someone who won’t accept me for me. I want someone who will love just the way I am.

Voglio qualcuno che conosca tutti i miei difetti e li accetti perché sa che nessuno è perfetto e nemmeno io lo sono.

Sceglierò me stessa perché voglio qualcuno che non sia tu.

Sceglierò me stesso ogni volta perché Voglio le etichette and I want to know exactly where our relationship is going. I don’t want to hold myself back.

I’ve got a lot of love and I want to find someone who will take it and love me back just the same as I will love him.

Voglio che le cose siano familiari e confortevoli. Voglio sentirmi al sicuro e con te non mi sono mai sentito così.

I’m not sorry I was with you. I’m sorry that it took me a long time to realize that we shouldn’t be together.

I don’t want your almost love. I don’t need it. I don’t deserve it.

I finally realized I should put myself first from now on. Because up until now, I’ve been doing the opposite and it didn’t take me anywhere except toward disappointment, sadness, and pain.

I’ve been trying so hard to make you love me completely, but you were stuck at almost.

I’m sorry I didn’t give up earlier to finish this agony the both of us lived in.

I’m sorry that I wanted you to stay but you chose to push me away.
