He does not make me whole
He does not complete me
I am not empty when he is not around

But there is a light inside of him...
Innocence.
Hope.
A spark of life.

He is my guide.

I am finding the missing parts of myself
I had thought were long gone.
I am rising,
Rebuilding,
Recovering.

I am remembering  how to
be alive again
I am remembering how to
love myself
And forgive myself

I am remembering who I am
