It Was My Fault I Expected So Much From You

And that was when I decided to think some things through. I realized that you were probably never the man of my dreams. I realized that I only wanted to believe that you were my Mr. Perfect and therefore I refused to see your true self. I only saw the things that suited me and the things I liked about you.

I expected you to save me and I thought everything bad I had experienced in my life would go away if I held on to you. I saw you as the light at the end of my tunnel and as someone who would fix me and heal me completely.

But none of it was actually possible. And it’s not your fault.

It was my fault for having such high expectations of you and of any other man in my life.

And yes, you did cause me pain. But you also taught me one of the most valuable lessons in life—I am the only one who needs to heal herself and the only one who needs to complete her life.
