#70 - Painful Gratitude
I
Thank you for not liking me back
For me to go on and not to look back.
Thank you so much for always breaking me
For me not just to be in pain but also to be free.
II
I now learn to stand up on my own.
I now learn to be happy by my own.
Thank you for leaving me without a trace.
Thank you for leaving me without an embrace.
III
Thank you for loving her and not me.
It is enough to stop loving you by me.
It is enough for me to let go.
It is enough for me to know.
IV
You are not the one for me.
To be lovers, we are not meant to be.
To you, I am just your good friend
Ever since the beginning, until the end.
V
Thank you for every pain you have given me.
Thank you for every memory you've shared with me.
I shall now go far away to find myself
For I have lost her when I forgot to love myself.
