I used to blame the universe for her absence
And I used to think it took her from me.
I later thanked the universe for the lessons
For bringing her to me and taking her away
Until I learned about free will
And I realized that I am in the option of everyone's choosing
It is not up to fate or even up to the universe of who will stay
We have always been in control of our
dependence and independence
So thank you for coming
but just know
that I blame you
for leaving
