i don't owe you anything
and i don't expect anything from you
you're incapable of a genuine sorry
your name leaves a sour taste in my mouth
but you don't know what that is

there is something i have to say to you though
you would expect something harsh
but instead i give you this

thank you for destroying me
for teaching me that being naive gets me nowhere
and that i shouldn't waste my time on someone
who won't even give me a glance
or even a half-hearted smile

thank you for all the times you told me i was important
but also told me you're a sociopath
and everything was a lie

thank you for showing me that it's okay to be spontaneous
and to take the chance because tomorrow isn't promised
and for opening my mind to new perspectives and opinions
allowing me to have more understanding conversations
and learning how to listen

thank you for turning a heart made of glass into one of stone
holding my head up high and ready to face my fears
for pain is inevitable, so learn from it

i sit here with a smile on my face in a content world
loving someone i never understood in the past
but now can love with open arms and an honest heart
not having to worry if he means what he says
or whether or not he wants my heart because spoiler; he does
