Thank you for letting go of us, because I needed someone to help me release the grip I had clenched so tightly onto us.

Thank you for throwing me back into reality, because now I can see you for who you truly are, and I know that we are not meant to be, that you are in fact undeserving of me.

Although, I would have prefered you were just honest with me, instead of stabbing me with all of your lies and deceit. I would have prefered you had just cut the strings you had attached to me instead of hanging on to the last few threads. I would have prefered that once your agenda was complete, and you had used me in all the ways you needed me, you would have just let me go right then and there.

But I won't give you the power to control me. You are poisonous, and I refuse to allow you to fill my body with toxins. I release you, you can no longer hurt me. I can breathe now, my lungs are no longer constricted by your chains.

I had to learn the hard way that the heart is not psychic. It will trick the wide-eyed girl, desperately looking for someone to give her heart to, so that she sees the boy as the not in shining armor, when really, he's just the fumbling village idiot.

But after everything, I want to thank you for this inspiration. Because doesn't the best inspiration come from heartbreak?

Because there is no better feeling than feeling beautiful all on my own.

Because you don't own me, you don't represent me, you don't define me. You are not me. I am me. This is who I am.

Because how would I know that I could get back up if I was never knocked down?

How would I know the power of my own strength if I never had s*** to deal with?

I know that it's not you who I miss, it's the way you used to make me feel that I miss.

I long for that euphoric state of happiness that used to engulf me.

Thank you for being my first love and for proving to me that my own form of a fairytale can exist.

Thank you for giving me that feeling, because I will never accept anything less than that.

I know that I will find someone one day who will make me feel like the world was made to be a backdrop for us.

I will find someone one day who will show me all of the wonderful parts of the universe that my mind was never opened to.

I will find someone one day who will have the mission of making my whole being fill with laughter, and will accomplish it everyday.

And most importantly, I will find someone one day who is actually good enough for me, unlike a dumb f*** like you.

Thank you.
