it was you who told me i was beautiful when i felt ugly. you told me i was perfect when i pointed out how flawed i am. you told me that it was okay not too be okay and that crying didn't make me weak. you said that i was worth something. that my life, was valuable. that i myself had meaning. you told me you loved me when i told you i felt like nobody did. i showed you the weakest parts of me. parts i never show anybody.... parts i will never, ever show anybody ever again. because just like that, you left. Just like everybody else did, everyone i told you about. everyone you said you would never be like. after that it was you who appeared in my mind when a sad song came on. it was you that i thought of at night when i felt lonely as ever. it was you i lost nights of sleep over because i was holding my stomach covering my mouth so nobody could hear me cry. it was you who made me put walls up so high never wanted to feel a thing again. 

But it was me that depended on somebody else to keep me up. it was me who thought i needed a breathing person to keep me happy. it was me who tried to love you with all the broken pieces you left me as. it was me who continuously tried to see the good in you when you were the worst poison for me.

But now it is you, who is only a memory. And it is me who is stronger and happier than ever without you.
