A realization came to me recently
Where I understood who I am
Without you
And it was surprisingly refreshing.
I was living to be something to you
Living to do life with you
And without that I was forced to
Reevaluate.
And I am truly growing.
Realizing that I could love you
so much
And you weren't the one
made me realize how much
I'll love the right one
And that inspires me.
And I deserve so much more
Than someone who cannot
Help me through times
Of utter misery
And I know that person is out there.
I no longer yearn for you
I know I am growing stronger
Not to spite you,
But for myself
And learning to live my life for
The improvement of myself
Has helped me
Tremendously.
And I'm the happiest I've been in weeks.
Moving on.
