I once dated a boy who teared me up
He managed to destroy me from the inside out
But I let everything happen
I let him disrespect my boundaries
"All for love" I recall thinking
A love I should have given to myself
A love that I now give to myself
With him, I was the most vulnerable
With him I lost myself
Until I could not recognize who I saw in the mirror
One day I realized that he wouldn't change
And I gathered the strength to walk away
"All for love" I recall thinking
A love I started to give to myself
A love that I still give to myself
