+~~~~~~~+ I ran back to you because I missed you. I ran back to because I didn't want you to be sad. I ran back to you because I thought it was my job to protect you. +~~~~~~~+ I couldn't keep my word that I would stay away because I was terrified to hurt you. I couldn't stay away because I thought I was letting you down. I couldn't stay away because I wanted to show you that I was trying to be perfect for you. +~~~~~~~+ I learned that I was so much happier without you. I learned that I didn't have to be perfect for you. I learned that it wasn't my job to protect you. +~~~~~~~+ I am happy without you. I am me without you. I am allowed to be without you. +~~~~~~~+

Without You
+~~~~~~~+ I ran back to you because I missed you. I ran back to because I didn't want you to be sad. I ran back to you because I thought it was my job to protect you. +~~~~~~~+ I couldn't keep my word that I would stay away because I was terrified to hurt you. I couldn't stay away because I thought I was letting you down. I couldn't stay away because I wanted to show you that I was trying to be perfect for you. +~~~~~~~+ I learned that I was so much happier without you. I learned that I didn't have to be perfect for you. I learned that it wasn't my job to protect you. +~~~~~~~+ I am happy without you. I am me without you. I am allowed to be without you. +~~~~~~~+
Despite the fact that this sounds like I miss some intimate boyfriend or girlfriend relationship, this is about my mom and the relationship I will never have with her.
