Sometimes I needed to love you a little less- and love myself a whole lot more.
Sometimes you needed to stop hiding yourself so much and let me see that scared little boy.

I gave you so much. I gave you too much.
Gave my soul, my thoughts, my heart.
So what was left for me?

Removing that invisible band wrapped around my finger- has set my heart free once again.
Has let my wings and fire be unleashed.
i am here.
I have awakened.
