Non sei mai stata la mia persona per sempre, sei stata una lezione che ho dovuto imparare

Sembra strano, ora che ti ho dimenticato, che io abbia mai pensato che non sarei mai arrivata a questo punto. Al punto in cui sono indifferente.

I thought the pain would last a lifetime. I thought that I would miss you forever. I thought that this love would never leave my heart. I couldn’t help but feel that way.

It’s like we had our own little world, made for the two of us, and all of a sudden I was standing alone in it. Everything fell apart and I felt dead on the inside. I felt like I would never recover and be myself again.

But I guess deep down I knew that this was bound to happen. Maybe I should have seen this coming. I always felt like I was the one who loved more, the one who gave more without getting the same back. I just didn’t want to face it. I was hoping that I was wrong.

Ho commesso un errore che ogni ragazza fa quando è innamorata. Pensavo che avessi bisogno di più tempo per provare i miei stessi sentimenti.

I was wrong, I know that now. Time didn’t solve anything–it only made it worse. Your feelings didn’t change. You didn’t change. The only thing that changed was me.

I was never truly happy with you, even though I loved you more than words can say. And I held on to that love for dear life. I couldn’t let it go until I had to, until you left and I was all out of choices.

Ma grazie per averlo fatto. Mi hai fatto davvero un favore. Ora vedo chiaramente che non sei mai stata la mia persona per sempre; eri solo una lezione Ho dovuto imparare.

You taught me that time doesn’t change things.

I know now that when things are bad they will only become worse with time. All my hopes and desires won’t change that. I learned that my time has value and I won’t waste it on someone who doesn’t feel the same.

Mi hai insegnato cosa non è il vero amore.

I was one of those girls who would do anything for love and not expect anything in return. I know now, even though I didn’t want to hear it then, that love should be reciprocated in all its forms. You should get what you give and never settle for less.

Mi hai insegnato che devo apprezzare me stessa e la mia libertà anche quando ho una relazione.

We don’t appreciate our freedom nearly enough. We are actually scared to be alone and we shouldn’t be. Being single puts things in a completely new perspective.

I used to put myself last when I was with you. My dreams, my desires, and my life weren’t important anymore. Now I feel more alive than I ever was by your side. Like I got a second chance to-do over my life. I am working on myself for myself. I am constantly finding new ways to make myself happy.

Mi hai spinto a trovare un modo per amare me stesso.

And I thank you for that. I learned to love and appreciate myself more. I learned that I am always stronger than I think. I learned that there is nothing I can’t do. I learned to take life with all that it brings, both good and bad.

You taught me to let go of the things that aren’t right for me.

I learned that I should let go of everyone who doesn’t want to stay. I learned that somebody better will come along. I learned that I should never beg for love. I learned that I should never stay in a bad relationship and hope that things will change.

I learned that there is no one I can’t get over because I got over you.
