i had an epiphany. it was that i didn't need you to need me to need you. it was that i had bones that didn't have to hold anything up but myself. it was that i knew deeply how intrinsic we were to your existence. it was that i knew deeply how you thought this was true for me. it was that i knew how you turned our chemistry into mud. it was that i knew this mud is not me. it was that i could be free of this. it was that i could be free of this. it was that i could be free of this.
