Se fosse stato quello giusto, sarebbe rimasto

For as long as you can remember, you’ve been someone who believed in love. You’ve been a girl who was looking for real romance and a happy ending in all of your relationships.

Non sei mai stato interessato a qualcosa di temporaneo e non hai mai cercato un uomo solo per divertirti.

Le relazioni insignificanti e le scappatelle occasionali non fanno per voi.

Invece, tutto ciò che hai sempre voluto è trovare l'uomo giusto for you, your soulmate and the man you’d grow old with.

No, you weren’t too picky and you didn’t want a Mr. Perfect—you just wanted simple things—someone to get you, someone to try around you and someone to love you back.

This is exactly what you hoped to get from your ex-boyfriend—love, compassion and understanding. You wanted him to be your safe harbor and your haven after a long day.

E a pensarci bene, quest'uomo era davvero tutto questo.

He indeed had everything you looked for in a man—at least in the beginning.

Tuttavia, dopo un po' di tempo, le cose sono cambiate e lui si è rivelato un uomo diverso da quello che pensavate.

Non siete sicure se ora stesse mostrando la sua vera natura o se si fosse semplicemente stancato di voi, ma la verità è che all'improvviso non c'era più traccia dell'uomo di cui vi eravate innamorate.

Dopo molti litigi e ancora più tempo sprecato, ti ha lasciato.

Così, se n'è andato dalla tua vita come se voi due non aveste mai avuto importanza e come se non gli fosse mai importato di te.

Vi ha lasciati soli, cercando di combattere la vostra tristezza e di capire quando e perché le cose sono andate male.

Nevertheless, that is not the worst part. You know that eventually, you’ll stop missing him and get used to his absence.

You know that you’ll learn to live without him even if you never stop loving him.

Ma se fosse quello giusto per voi? Se fosse la vostra anima gemella?

What if you never grow to love someone the way you still love him? What if you’ll spend the rest of your life searching for him in all the other men you encounter? What if this man who got away remains stuck in one part of your brain forever?

Well, let me promise you one thing—none of this will happen. And you know why?

Perché if he was the one, he wouldn’t have gotten away. If he was meant to be yours forever, you would have never lost him.

You know, when love is real, it doesn’t have an expiration date. It doesn’t fade away the moment things get rough and it never ends.

When love is real, it lasts a lifetime, through good and bad days, through thick and thin. None of life’s obstacles or time can do it any harm because it is omnipotent and everlasting.

I know you are still convinced that this man was the one for you but he clearly wasn’t.

Aveva uno scopo nella vostra vita, era lì per insegnarvi una lezione and to make you understand some things but he obviously wasn’t right for you.

Perché se così fosse, niente al mondo avrebbe potuto allontanarlo da voi.

Se così fosse, sarebbe ancora lì al tuo fianco, a tenerti la mano nella vita e non avrebbe mai pensato di tirarsi indietro.

Se fosse stato quello giusto, avreste avuto il vostro lieto fine.

I know all of this is difficult to believe in now but you’ll see that it is the only truth once this true love we are talking about comes into your life.

When that happens, you’ll realize all the ways in which all of your past relationships were wrong and you’ll finally understand why none of them worked out.

Most importantly, you’ll see that there is tempismo perfetto for everything and especially for love. You’ll see that sometimes there is a difference between the love you think you want and the one you really need—the difference between temporary and everlasting love.
