I don't need you to love me anymore. I thought I needed your love like I needed air to breathe or a song to sing. I thought your love was what I needed to fix myself; a way to feel whole again. What a waste those thoughts were. I loved you so much that I forget to love myself, and I got lost in you. I broke myself over and over again trying to love you, trying to reach my goal of completion.
I woke up today and finally realized that I don't need you, that I never needed you. All I ever needed was me. Within myself was the strength to pick up the pieces and mend myself. Another person's love would never heal me. Only I can heal myself. When I finally began to accept myself for the person that I've become and the person that I want to be that is when true healing began.
