Broken Hearts


Because I love you

I put your feelings before mine

Because I love you

I pretend like I’m okay so you’ll never see me cry

Because I love you

I do everything you say

Because I love you

I realized what you did to me was not okay

Because I love you

I had to let you go

Because I love you

I realized that I had to grow

Because I love you

I learned that trust, respect, and honesty are important

Because I love you

I recognized that all these years you were abhorrent

Because I love you

I’ve learned that a healthy relationship thrives on communication

Because I love you

I knew you could never do this because of your lack of patience

Because I love you I’m genuinely happy now

So I don’t need you in my life anymore, Ciao!
