If I wrote book about my first heartbreak, the last sentence would be thank you
 
I wouldn’t talk about my regrets because I don’t have any


 there’s nothing I wish I could change cause every single decision made in the past created who I am today 

so thank you for the times you loved me and thank you for the times you didn’t 

thank you for the parts of me you broke and the parts of me you had a hand in healing 

thank you for the hectic ending and the blissful beginning

For so long I had this naïve view of love

But the best lessons are taught in pain 

so by the end of us, I had nothing to lose, and everything to gain 

thank you for helping me find myself. I had no identity. I was a literal shell. 

A community statue put together by ideas and opinions of everyone else. 

And then I shattered. 

Lost my mind for a little while and nothing else mattered. 

Then I looked up one day and realized I was alone with no real sense of self

 so I had to start from Ground Zero and build a real me all by myself

thank you for teaching me love isnt enough 

I learned that in order to have a healthy relationship We need communication understanding, respect , and a whole Lotta trust.

But I won’t give you too much. 

Thank you for loving me on the days where I wasn’t perfect. 


Boosting me up on days where I didn’t feel worth it .  

Or giving me Grace on days I didn’t deserve it. 

thank you for being the reason I had to learn how to handle heartbreak. 

That’s something that can only be learned through experience. 

There’s no accurate simulation for heartache. 

And that first ones and once in a lifetime pain. 

The kind that will have you crying out to God, and using his name in vein. 

From beginning to end, I’m grateful for it all. 

Navigating through love and life is just like learning how to ride a bike. 

Once the training wheels come off, you are bound to have a few falls. 

There’s so many lessons I would’ve never learned if we never tied souls. 

Like how to be alone, or to never put anyone’s happiness before my own. 

To my first heartbreak thank you for teaching me that life goes on.
