YOU wanted to leave.
And I let you leave.
And I am stronger for letting you leave.
I still see your shadow on every street, in every shop, in every place we used to be.
I can still smell you on the sheets.
I could still feel you everywhere, If I wanted to.
And who are you now?
Dancing around a new city, with new smells, with new people.
With new everything.
New opportunities.
New stories.
Nothing to remind you of me.
Congratulations, to your ghost.
And what you ran away from,
I felt. I felt it so thoroughly,
the pain running through every vein of my body,
and I let it go.
I have risen in the same place I fell from.
I can live again.
