Thank You For Walking Away Because I Couldn’t Have Let You Go Otherwise

When you initially left, I felt shattered. My greatest fear became a reality—I lost the man I loved deeply, and I thought my world had ended.

The truth is, I loved you with all my heart, without conditions, and I believed I would love you till my last breath, no matter what.

I loved you even when you hurt me, even when you made me cry, even when you emotionally mistreated me.

I loved you even when you neglected me and made me feel like an afterthought.

Even when other girls were around you, when you made me feel worthless, and when you made me want to vanish.

The truth is, I loved you even when you didn’t love me in return.

I was ready to do anything to keep you by my side, even if it meant losing myself.

Yes, I threatened to leave countless times. I promised myself that someday, I’d find the courage to prioritize my well-being and do what was right.

That a day would come when I’d stop giving you endless chances, when I’d stop making excuses for you, and when I’d finally let you go.

A day when I’d choose myself over you and accept that my love couldn’t change you.

A day when I’d face the harsh truth—that you couldn’t make me happy, and moving on was the only sensible choice.

But that day never came. Instead, I kept hoping things would improve, stuck in a cycle of hope and despair.

Looking back, I realize I might never have been the one to end it. So, thank you for doing it for me.

Thank you for being the one to break my heart and leave, without caring about me.

For pushing me out of your life without looking back.

Yes, you heard it right. I’m not here to blame you or tell you how much I hate you. I’m here to thank you sincerely.

Thank you for disappearing from my life.

You might not know this, but when you walked away, you actually saved me.

You saved me not just from you, but from the pain I endured, from a futureless life by your side, and from the love that was destroying me.

You saved me from wasting more years on someone who toyed with my feelings and took me for granted.

From living miserably, begging you to love me and become the person I wanted you to be.

So, thank you. Most of all, thank you for showing me that I can live without you, no matter what.

For helping me see that I never needed you and that I’m fine on my own.

Thank you for making me believe in myself and giving me the strength to know I can survive anything after surviving you.

For making me realize how strong and resilient I am.

Thank you for teaching me never to settle for less again.

For showing me what love isn’t and what I don’t deserve.

For teaching me the kind of treatment I should never accept again.

Thank you for revealing who you truly were all along.

For helping me remove my rose-colored glasses and see that you were never enough.

Thank you for making room for a better man in my life.

For a man who will value me, a man who will give me the love I deserve.

For a man who will be everything you never could be.

So, I guess losing you wasn’t so bad after all. In fact, it was the best thing that could have happened to me.
