É assim que se perde uma mulher que viu o pior de si e ficou

Uma coisa que sempre me fez sentir orgulhosa de mim própria é o facto de ser uma mulher de ir ou morrer. Quando amo, amo até aos ossos.

I’m there for you through the good times and the bad times.

I don’t count mistakes and I always find a way to make things better. My mind is open and my heart is big.

I know how to forgive and I know how to see through your pain. I’m a one of a kind woman and all of that wasn’t enough to make you realize that you should have treated me better than you did.

Eu vi-te no teu pior. Vi-te quando estavas no teu pior, a agir como tudo aquilo de que tinhas medo.

I saw you when you acted exactly like you said you would never act. Maybe that’s what you couldn’t stand.

Talvez tenhas tido vergonha de ti próprio e descarregaste em mim.

Well, the saddest thing is that your problems aren’t mine but I would have gladly helped you with them if you hadn’t ruined it all.

You started to act so insecurely. I wasn’t allowed to do anything without you. You started acting selfishly.

Everything you said became a manipulation tactic and you wouldn’t let me breathe.

On top of all that, you didn’t even care to make me feel loved or cared for. You were possessive yet cold.

I got tired of giving my best to a person who didn’t deserve me. I knew that life wasn’t about constantly meeting the needs of others but mutual understanding.

Eu sabia que havia mais na vida do que ver-te cometer o mesmo erro vezes sem conta e nunca mudares e não reparares no que eu estava a fazer por ti.

Sempre tive problemas em deixar as pessoas e esta foi a coisa mais difícil que tive de fazer, mas fi-lo.

You didn’t break my spirit so I still knew my worth. I knew that if I didn’t leave you, I would end up broken and lost. And I’m not that kind of woman.

I’m not someone you can control, someone you can use as an emotional punching bag.

I’m very aware of myself and the things I can do and give. I’m aware that I’m rare. That’s exactly why I know you will regret losing me once you realize I’m gone forever.

It takes me so much time to leave someone but once I’m gone, I’m gone forever. You have lost me.

My heart is broken but my spirit is whole. I’ll find a way to mend my heart but you will never find a way back to me.

Nunca devias ter pensado que a tua fraqueza estava na tua dor, mas na forma como deixaste que ela te controlasse. Deixaste que o teu medo se tornasse a tua insegurança e depois deixaste que a tua insegurança matasse o nosso amor.

Love isn’t fear or control or walking on eggshells to stop yourself from triggering someone.

O amor tem a ver com honestidade, com a profundidade dos sentimentos e com a vulnerabilidade perante a pessoa amada.

Vulnerability takes courage and you didn’t have it. You let your bad side consume you and you sacrificed our love.

I know you enough to know you won’t change, so I needed to leave you. One day you will think of us and ask yourself how you failed to recognize the true love I was giving you.

We could have healed together but you choose pain. I didn’t. That’s why I’m here, writing this as I contemplate what was once our love.

I hope you’re not doing the same thing to someone else. I hope my love has taught you to face your demons, rather than blame others.

Entretanto, reconheço a força da minha alma. Aprendi a ter limites. Compreendo finalmente que nem toda a gente é digna do meu tempo ou do meu amor.

Aprendi que, para que o amor faça sentido, duas pessoas têm de trabalhar em conjunto e trocar energia.

Love takes two and it’s about reciprocity. Quando tomei consciência disso, o meu coração começou a sarar lentamente.

Today I can proudly say that I’m moving on because now I know I didn’t lose you but you lost me.
