Because I love myself more

Because I love you,

I can let you go, even if I don’t want to.

Keeping you means that my love for you is greater than my self-love.

But because I love me too and because I learned to love myself more,

I can also learn to be strong for myself, by myself.

Loving you was easy,

I did not have to focus on loving myself.

That was your job.

But then I realized you weren’t loving me as much as I was loving you

And I had to pick up the slack.

Learning to love myself showed me that

Because I love you, I wasn’t loving myself
