Free to be me...
I thought that once you had gone I would feel so alone....
I thought being alone would be the razors edge of loneliness.
But now that you have gone I realize....
I was lonelier with you - because you were never really there.
I realize now that you were taking away parts of me.
Now
I am free to be the me that was lost trying to be a we.
I am alone and I may be lonely but...
I don't feel empty being me.
Not like I did when
I tried being a we with you.
It is better to be me
complete and free.
to love again...
