Breaking My Heart Opened My Eyes

Breaking my heart opened my eyes.
Talked to you for months only to end up with ignored responses and "I don't want a relationship," replies.
I really liked you but looking back I don't know why.
You treated my so horribly.
I should be thankful you left me be. 
I see what you really are, when back then I couldn't see.
You really made me feel there was something wrong with me.
You stopped texting back saying you didn't want to lead me on and wanted to be relationship free.
It really didn't make sense because we texted all the time before we met and you weren't in a relationship with me.
You started seeing some other girl and had a relationship with her so you just didn't want a relationship with me.
You decided she was prettier and better than me.
Everyone I talked to said she was no where near a good person to date.
They said she was super jealous, full of drama, manipulative, and driven by hate.
I’m not the type of person who tries to convince anyone “I’m good enough to date.”
I was only a backburner girl or an option for you.
It's true.
You never really saw me. 
The truth is someone like you will never see someone like me.
I'll never be good enough for you.
It will never matter what I do.
But I’m happy with myself and to myself I’m true.
You may think your to good for me but I know I can do better than you.
I deserve better than you.
We can't even just be friends because of who you are.
When it comes to distance I'll stay far.
I won't look back or have regrets because I only lost someone who was awful to me and never liked me so this time I'm walking away.
You on the other hand will always have regrets and wonder what if because you lost someone who really liked you and would have treated like that every day.
I don't like you anymore.
That ended when you decided you liked her more.
Now that I’ve stopped looking or paying attention to you I have a tone of guys knocking at my door.
I have nothing left to say.
This time I'm loving myself and I’m staying away.
