While you were gone, life moved on. I woke up and had time to think. The clouds of emotion that confused my mind began to clear and I had time to realize what I wanted. At first I felt confusion and pain, but through it I saw a clear vision. I know that you have a path to follow and I have one too. I missed you beside me in the morning, but I was able to cope. I enjoyed hearing from you but I needed the time. I know what I want now and I am finally sure. While you were gone I found out that my life is with you. For better or worse, that is where I will be. What ever road you take you can take it with me. I just needed time to realize I was in love. While you were gone that was time enough.
