Vorrei ringraziarti per avermi spezzato il cuore

I’d like to thank you for breaking my heart. Every lesson I learned from you is greater than any knowledge I could gain within the four walls of a classroom. Through the pain, the healing was the greatest gift you’ve ever given me. I’m thankful for everything you put me through, and here’s why.

I’d like to thank you for your harsh words. If it hadn’t been for the sharpness of your tongue, I would’ve never realized the softness I truly ache for. The gentle words that will take me into its arms and hold me close in times of trouble. Words are our greatest weapons, and you used yours for war when I came in peace.

I’d like to thank you for being unable to compromise. I can be stubborn too, but I’m willing to meet halfway. Because you weren’t willing to go the distance and meet me there, I won’t be returning. It saves me gas money.

I’d like to thank you for making me feel alone. Grazie al tempo trascorso con me stessa, ho acquisito una nuova migliore amica. Ho scoperto il potere che ho nelle mie mani e la forza della mia indipendenza.

I’d like to thank you for telling me lies. Ogni bugia che hai detto mi ha avvicinato alla verità. La mia verità. Ho trovato la versione più onesta di me stesso e lei mi ha detto che Ho preso la giusta decisione di lasciarti indietro.

I’d like to thank you for leading me on. I grew tired of being pulling by your string and found freedom by cutting loose. You won’t guide me into uncharted waters.

I’d like to thank you for being egotistical. It showed me that there was only room for one person in this relationship, not two. I won’t stay where I’m not welcome.

I’d like thank you for bringing the worst out in me. Now that’s it’s out, I have room to let the good in. Your influence no longer has a hold on me. Your curse has been lifted.

I’d like to thank you for refusing to change, perché avevo bisogno di fare dei cambiamenti. Avevo bisogno di innaffiare il mio giardino e, soprattutto, il cambiamento più grande che dovevo fare riguardava il mio stato relazionale.

I’d like to thank you for being a selfish lover. Eri concentrato sui tuoi bisogni, mentre i miei non avevano alcuna importanza. Essendo così avido, ho capito che dovevo trovare qualcuno le cui mani avrebbero percorso chilometri solo per trovarmi.

I’d like to thank you for being disloyal. Your inability to commit made me feel like I wasn’t enough, but I grew to discover that I was just too much for you. I need someone on my level. No hard feelings.

I’d like to thank you for sleepless nights and streams of tears cried. In quelle notti insonni, mi sono stancato di rimanere fermo. Annegando nei ruscelli che ho pianto, alla fine ho imparato a nuotare. Ora dormo come un bambino e i miei occhi sono asciutti.

Thank you for breaking my heart because I discovered how to put the pieces back together and become whole. Thank you for letting me down, so I could pick myself back up. Because of my dark nights with you, I’ve never seen the sun shine so brightly. Thank you for disappointing me, so I had the chance to find satisfaction. Thank you for breaking promises in the past, so that I could believe in the promises of tomorrow.

Grazie.
