Lettera all'uomo che mi ha salvato

Prima di tutto: Grazie.

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.

L'amore era il mio più grande nemico.

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.

Sono stata io a dover guarire da sola. Sono stata io a dover combattere la depressione. Ero io che dovevo trovare il coraggio di uscire di nuovo. Lui ha ripreso da dove aveva lasciato.

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.

Grazie.

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.

Grazie per aver trovato il modo di raggiungermi.

Grazie per avermi ricordato quanto sono bella e degna.

Grazie per avermi rispettato come io rispetto te.

Grazie per loving me when I felt I didn’t deserve to be loved.

Dal giorno in cui sei entrato nella mia vita, mi sono reso conto di aver desiderato il tuo arrivo. Ho capito che la mia vita ha improvvisamente un senso. Ho capito che mi sei mancato per tutto questo tempo.

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 vivere una vita 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.

Grazie per avermi amato con i miei difetti e il mio passato. Grazie per aver condiviso con me il peso della vita. Grazie per avermi amato.
