I was consumed for years by you
Drowning in my own love

I have now resurfaced
From the depths of you

While some days were good
Some were bad too

And I finally coughed up the heartbreak
I was letting myself choke on

I cannot love a man
Who was not dedicated to loving me

Who ever I am

I am me now

Alone,
As scary and new as that may be

And while I still dream
Of my happy ending

I know I can't keep expecting you to choose me

Maybe someday someone else will choose me
Without doubt or question

Maybe they will love me without breaking me

It will happen one day

Because I know I deserve that happiness

I deserve to know what it feels like

To wake up everyday

And just smile.
