Eu ainda te amo, só não gosto da pessoa em que te tornaste

Dizem que todo o amor verdadeiro deve ser incondicional. Quando amamos uma pessoa, amamo-la inteira e completamente, sem fazer perguntas.

Ama-os com todos os seus defeitos e imperfeições. Aceitamo-lo exatamente como ele é e nunca tentamos mudar a essência de quem ele é.

You love them the same through their best and through their worst. At least, that is how things should be, shouldn’t they?

E foi assim que te amei. Amei-te, independentemente de tudo e apesar de tudo.

E Continuo a amar-teNão há dúvidas quanto a isso. Eu amo-te even though the truth is I don’t want to love you.

Mesmo que eu lute contra os meus sentimentos, de alguma forma eles saem sempre mais fortes e de alguma forma vencem sempre.

De alguma forma, o meu coração vence sempre a minha razão e, aparentemente, não há nada que eu possa fazer, por muito que tente.

Quero que saibas que, infelizmente para mim, este amor profundo e enorme que sinto por ti pouco ou nada tem a ver com tudo o que te vou dizer.

But that doesn’t mean I am not going to say it.

The truth is that I don’t like the person you’ve become, even though Continuo a amar essa pessoa.

To be honest, I don’t know how that is even possible. How can you love someone without liking them?

Well, I myself don’t know the answer but this is exactly how I feel. And it wasn’t like that from the beginning.

Apaixonei-me por ti pelas tuas qualidades e pelo homem que eras.

Apaixonei-me pela tua honestidade, pela força do teu carácter e pela tua personalidade, entre outras coisas.

Apaixonei-me por ti porque eras um homem verdadeiro, que sabia apreciar os verdadeiros valores e que sabia respeitar-me.

When I first met you, I thought I’d finally found everything I was looking for.

É claro que não estou a tentar dizer que foi assim homem perfeito porque tu tinhas definitivamente os teus defeitos, tal como eu.

Mas, essencialmente, eu sabia que era uma pessoa boa, carinhosa e atenciosa.

And with time, you’ve changed and everything about you changed. And you’ve become everything you swore you’d never become.

I am scared to admit this to myself and to say it out loud but it seems to me that you’ve become a bad guy, a bad person, and that is something I’m struggling to accept.

I don’t know what has happened to you and if your change of character had anything to do with me.

I don’t know if this was the real you all along and if you just pretended to be someone you were not until you saw you had me but the fact is that I don’t like the man you’ve turned out to be.

The fact is that I wouldn’t like you to be my friend and that I wouldn’t like you in my life if I didn’t love you.

The fact is that I don’t like this homem egoísta que só cuida de si próprio e que se coloca sempre em primeiro lugar.

That I don’t like how you’ve become indifferent toward everyone else’s emotions and the fact that you’ve become immune to the pain you’ve been causing me.

That I don’t like the fact that you’ve started taking me for granted and that you’ve stopped putting any effort into our relationship, like I have to stay by your side, no matter what.

It’s like all of a sudden you’ve become this toxic, negative and bitter man who enjoys manipulating and hurting others, without ever thinking of the consequences.

But most of all—I don’t like the person you’ve become because you keep acting like you’ve lost all respect for me.

It is more than obvious that you don’t appreciate any of my sacrifices and the things I’ve done for our relationship.

It is like you deliberately keep finding ways to hurt me and to diminish my worth. It’s like you enjoy breaking my heart.

And the worst part is that I can’t recognize you anymore. Because you are definitely not the man I fell in love with.
