Since that day you left
I made myself a promise.
A promise to never let anyone hurt me as much as you hurt me.

Do you remember all our laughs,
our stupid, pointless talks?
Did you care?
Was I just a joke to you?

Since that day I forgot what it feels like to be happy.
I promised myself I will never put my happiness in someone else's hands.

You made me open my eyes.
You made me the bad guy.
All your friends hate me now because you told them about my secret.

I promised myself to never trust someone so easily as I trusted you.
Trust must be earned.
You took advantage and hurt me.

This only made me stronger.
Yes you built me up and broke me down, but that only made me build myself up and made me stronger.

So thank you.
Thank you for hurting me.

I promise myself I will be okay and I will be happy without you.
