You taught me
As much as you broke my heart, you taught me.
You taught me that I needed chivalry.
You taught me that I needed a protector.
You taught me that I was unique.
You taught me that I was deserving of love.
You paved the way for a person who would willingly be all of those things for me.
You broke down my defenses from the inside for the person who has what I never believed that I deserved.
I understand why you and I didn’t work. We weren’t ever meant to. You were there to teach me some things about myself that I never expected to believe.
