This far.

I didn't think i'd get this far without you, I didn't know where life was going to take me the second you left. But here I am, a college graduate and soon to be a grad student. So many twist and turns since you've been gone, like the song. "I can feel for the first time" I used to think that I was going to be lost, That I had no direction and couldn't tell you what my next move was going to be. Until I had no choice and I had to do what was best for me, I had to toughen up and take the plunge. I had to put my past behind me and show up for myself, show up for the little girl who was and is still learning to heal on her own. The little girl that you didn't break, but you also left her behind. Here we are thriving, still questioning life and everything that's happening good and bad. But were making the best of this life and what it has to offer.

Hello again.

As I lay here thinking about you,

I can’t help but feel empty.

Empty from the pieces you left behind

I don’t know where life will take me anymore

And I think that’s the beauty of it all.

For so long I thought I was hard to love,

Or that I’d never be worthy of another great one.

I was wrong, you were just another lesson in my ever going life.

How much I loved you, so much it hurt.

As time has passed it doesn’t hurt as often,

But it’s still a reminder of what once was.

You’ve moved on and I’m glad your happy, I can’t wait for the day I find that happiness again.

I used to think nobody would ever love me,

Or be attracted to me. I carry these scars of my past like a wounded bandage,

I’m not that girl who is as in love with you anymore.

What great love I’ve yet to meet.

But when I do, I’ll know he/she is the one.

And your memory will be something of the past.

Until I completely let go, I’ll never be open to another.

I know the pain still lingers, but it won’t be forever.

Until, then I’ll be counting down the hours.
