For so long
I thought you were my everything
I thought we belonged to each other.

For so long
I kept hoping you might change
Believing you’d try to be better for me
But you never did.
You never would.

I’ll never forget
How your arms opened wide
Promising love, safety, and comfort
How you brought happiness
Hating to see me sad.
And I’ll also never forget
How you hurt me
Tears streaming endlessly
Leaving me wondering why
I was never enough for you.

And now
The feeling has come
I don't want you anymore.

I didn't stop loving you
But I started to loving myself more
I finally see how much I deserved
To be happy
To be truly loved
To be chosen without hesitation
By someone
Who would never dream of bringing me pain.
