(This blog post sounds like that Jamelia song but we're just going to politely ignore that- cool?)
To the man who broke my heart.
Thank you
Thank you for walking out of my life, for leaving me.
Thank you for hurting me,
Thank you for all the tears, the bruises, the slamming doors and raised voices.
Thank you for breaking every last bit of me,
If not, I wouldn't have learnt something valuable.
I would never have learnt how strong I could be.
I would never have learnt what I deserve from life, from love.
I would never have learnt to not let any person treat me that way.
I would never have fallen in love with a man who is kind,
Thank you for giving him the opportunity to love me, do things that would make me truly happy, to really keep me,
He does all the things you failed to do for me, like being there for me when I feel most alone.
Give me time and affection even when I'm not asking for it.
He loves me for all that I am, and will support me in anything I want to be.
Thank you for making me into the person I am today,
Thank you for showing me that I deserve someone stronger, braver and kinder than you-
and I am so thankful I found that someone.
