The love, the hate, and the beautiful

Letter To My Past Lovers:

Dear past lovers,

This is a letter to all of you

who I am no longer with

and have since moved on.

I just want to say thank you so much

for breaking my heart

and for making me believe

that you actually loved me

and cared about me.

If it wasn't for you telling me these things

that were a complete lie and giving me false hope

I wouldn't be the person I am today.

I wouldn't be strong,

confident,

and putting myself first

if it wasn't for you.

But there's also a downside

to you leaving me.

My emotional walls are built up higher than before.

I trust less people now.

And my insecurities have only increased.

Future lovers will try and get me to let them in

but since you have broken me

that will be nearly impossible.

The words "I love you"

will mean nothing to me

because I've heard it so often

and those three words were all a lie.

But even though these things will be difficult

I will work through them.

It will be much easier to deal with these things

than it was loving you.

Now new and painless memories can be made

with those who actually care.

And even if my hear gets broken multiple times

I know it'll all be okay

because it only makes me stronger inside.

So thank you again for breaking my heart

and teaching me an important lesson:

don't give your heart to someone

who isn't willing to give you theirs in return.

Love&Hate, The one you broke/made stronger
