That evening I stopped being miserable
I thought...
'My life is amazing'

Aside from the daily hustle and bustle,
And a few more hundred pieces to pick up,
It's not really that bad is it?

Even the one who broke my heart thinks that I'm going to be okay.
So he did it anyway.

He knows it will just be a tiny bump.
That he himself is just a tiny glitch in my life.
He's human enough to think that everything will be okay.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have done it.

He knows that even when he leaves,
I have amazing friends and family to help me pick up the pieces.
He knows I'm strong enough and that
I'll survive without his presence.

He knows that I'm smart,
and that if he didn't leave me,
immediately, right at that very moment...
If he stays a bit longer...
He'll grow deeper and closer to me
And he knows that sooner or later
I will be the one to wake up
with a huge realization
and the strength to leave him.

Not everyone can survive feeling like fish out of the water.
He knows he can't.
So he swam away instead.
