Não preciso que me salves - só quero que estejas ao meu lado

Não. Não preciso de ti para me sentir bem comigo mesma. Estou contente com a vida que tenho e com as pessoas que fazem parte dela.

Mas preciso que me aceites como sou, porque todas as minhas peculiaridades e defeitos faziam parte da minha vida antes de ti.

I don’t need you to TELL me that I’m digno. I’ve gone through a lot to become perfectly aware of it and I’d never let anyone tell me otherwise.

But I need you to SHOW me that I’m worthy because my wounds have taught me that actions speak louder than words.

I don’t need you to save me.

I’m not one waiting for someone to lead me. I’ve gone through the darkest alleys all by myself and that is what made me stronger.

I don’t need you to work your magic and save what’s left of my broken heart. I’ve healed the wounds myself to make space in my heart for someone worthier of my love.

Para si.

I don’t need you to complete me. I’m not as bruised or as damaged as I used to be before. Yes, I’ve changed.

Todas as minhas noites sem dormir mudaram-me. Mas também me ajudaram a encontrar a minha força interior e o meu verdadeiro eu.

I discovered that I’m not so weak after all. All this time there was this strong, fierce woman inside me, waiting to get out.

And now she’s here. I am here.

E só quero que me ouças.

Listen to me when I’m telling you that I’m not feeling good. I don’t need you to solve my problems; I just want you to listen to me.

O passado ensinou-me a encontrar uma saída, mesmo nas estradas mais concorridas.

And if I get lost, I don’t need you to carry me. Just show me the way out and I’ll do it by myself.

Listen to me even when you’re not interested in what I have to say. I want you to show your appreciation and respect for what I’m about to say.

Só quero que faças um esforço.

I don’t need you to be perfect. I want you to show me that you’re fazer um esforço. E quero que o faças porque queres e não porque eu te disse.

I’ve learned that perfect men do not exist and that is why I only want someone who makes an effort.

Beija-me quando eu menos espero, abraça-me por trás, ouve os meus desejos e o que me faz feliz e age em conformidade.

Don’t even try to be perfect for me because I don’t need it. I just want you to tell me that you’re here and you’re not going anywhere.

Só quero que me mostres que te importas.

I don’t need you to promise me the moon and stars but I want you to promise me that you’ll watch them with me. I just want you to show me that you care when I’m not feeling right or when someone pisses me off.

I want you to pick up your phone when I’m calling you, to keep your promises and, from time to time, to give me a flower. I don’t need you to buy me expensive things.

Só quero que me mostres com pequenos gestos que te preocupas com a minha felicidade.

And I want to share happiness with you. I don’t need you to make me feel good when I’m feeling down. I want you to be happy and proud of me and my achievements.

Só quero que estejas ao meu lado.

No, I don’t need you to treat me like a queen of your kingdom. Eu quero-te para dançar comigo no meio da rua, à noite.

Quero visitar os lugares mais assustadores contigo.

And not because I’m afraid to do so by myself but because I want you to be by my side so that we can share our fears. I don’t need you to save me.

Só quero que não tenhas medo de me amar como eu te amo.
