You taught me something;
Something I could have never learned without you.

You see,
I never really knew why I met you—
Why you met me.
But now I do.

It used to boggle my mind,
Why you came into my life.
It felt like putting puzzle pieces together,
But having to keep starting over.

I never had the chance to say thank you,
For completely destroying me.
Because if you didn't do what you had to do,
I wouldn't be who I should really be.

You gave me knowledge about surviving heartaches.
You taught me to stand alone.
It took me time to feel okay,
But now, through the pain—
I found home.
