Weeks, days wondering if I can live without him. Can it be, will I ever get over him? Thinking back to how it felt when he was ripped from my arms. The feeling on the back of my head that made my head cold, numb. The lack of movement in my arms, numb. The lack of sleep, waking up at 4 a.m. every night. The fact that I couldn't eat, losing 10 pounds. I thought this is what happens when you can't live without someone, but in fact, this is all the signs of withdrawal. You see when you really love someone and they leave. The world ends. When you think you love someone and they leave. You get cut off that high euphoric feeling causing you to fall into withdrawal. But once you recover, you start to see yourself. A fighter. A champ. A woman. That deserves better and won't settle for anything less.
