Most people wouldn't thank you
for what you did.
But I am thanking you.
Despite everything
inside of me telling me not to.

I am thanking you because
without you
I would have never become great.
Without you
I would have never realized my true worth.
Without you
I would have never learned to love myself.
Without you
I would have never known my breaking point.

So, thank you.
Thank you for absolutely wrecking me.
Thank you for turning my life upside down.
Thank you for making my life hell.

But most importantly,
thank you for walking away
and never looking back.
Because while you rode off
into the sunset
I had to fix myself
and now
I'm better for it.
