Non vale più la pena di lottare

Che dire: sono un combattente. Vado fino in fondo. Non mi arrendo né quando le cose si mettono male né quando mi stanco.

Somehow I always find fuel for my battles. I find strength even when others would’ve lost hope a long time ago.

I never give up on people I love. You know that well, don’t you?

Because you deserved to see me turning my back to you, but I didn’t. You didn’t because I thought you were worth the fight.

I thought that it’s supposed to be this hard, that love should hurt sometimes, that I have to walk miles in pain before I get to feel a trace of happiness. So I fought for you like I never fought for anyone before.

Life was hard on me but I learned not to give up easily. I fight and I try and I fall just so I’d rise again and I keep fighting for what I want until I can’t fight anymore, until giving up is the only option left.

E anche allora mi convinco a provare ancora una volta, che forse quest'ultimo tentativo farà la differenza. E non avete idea di quanto sia tossico per me.

You’re something special, you know?

Ti ho amato. Ti ho amato anche quando mi hai dato tutte le ragioni per non farlo.

Even when you treated me like I wouldn’t treat the person I hate the most in this world. You played games with me.

Continuavi a fare promesse che non avevi intenzione di mantenere e ti nutrivi del mio dolore. Con te ho vissuto solo delusioni su delusioni.

I told myself that it doesn’t matter and I convinced myself that things were going to change very soon. But things never changed with you.

Things will never change with you. You are who you are. And you don’t see that there is anything wrong with you.

You don’t see that there is anything wrong with how you treat others or how you treated me. And honestly, I didn’t see it either for a while. But I finally opened my eyes.

I can finally see you for who you are. I can finally stop deceiving myself and telling myself that you’re a good guy. You’re not un bravo ragazzo.

Now I understand how I can’t fix you. Not only me, but nobody will ever be able to fix you because you don’t want to be fixed.

What you do want is someone who’ll bend over backward you even when you don’t lift a finger for that person.

I guess I taught you that things can work this way. But that was my mistake, the one I’m more than willing to correct now.

I honestly don’t get it. How come my efforts were not enough to make you want to try, too? How come you didn’t wish to have a happy relationship, to love and be loved when you saw me trying so hard for you? It doesn’t matter anyway. I’ll just have to accept the fact that some questions will remain unanswered.

You have no idea what kind of internal battles I fought. My heart was telling me one thing, but my mind kept telling me something completely different. And I should’ve listened to my mind, but I didn’t.

È inutile piangersi addosso.

I was always someone who was led by emotions. But this time, I refuse to listen to my emotions. This time, I refuse to give all of me to someone who doesn’t appreciate it.

Non mi hai mai stimato veramente.

Non hai mai apprezzato i miei sforzi e non ti sei mai preoccupato di quello che ci succede.

While I was trying to make us work, you were living life like I’m not in it. And you know what? The least I can do now is stop fighting for someone who doesn’t deserve me.

At the end of the day, when I tuck myself in bed and close my eyes, I won’t have any regrets.

I won’t have any demons haunting me or my past trying to pull me into an abyss. Because I know I fought for more than you deserve. My conscience is pure.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure you’ll be able to say the same thing.

Years from now when you look back on your life, I’ll bet there will be a regret or two regarding me. But what you’ll regret the most is non dandomi altra scelta se non quella di arrendermi con te.

At the end of the day, I realized that it’s okay to fight for someone who loves you. It’s not okay to fight for someone to love you. There’s a huge difference.
