You were a breath of fresh air
But my mind wanted me to suffocate.
Breathing you in would mean,
I gave love power over me.

My thoughts consumed every ounce of me,
Clouding my judgement and constantly playing my past on repeat.
I didn't think I was strong enough to break free,
Until that day you gave up on me.

The thought of losing you made my heart weak,
It knew it loved you, but was consumed by toxicity.
It fought hard to resurface and take power over me
For it knew what we shared,
Could turn into something so beautifully.

With every passing day,
I now try to live consciously,
Allowing my heart to receive the blessing that life bestowed upon me.
For meeting you wasn't an accident,
I believe we were meant to be.  
So until that time we reunite,
I'll continue to heal, me.
