Today I had a realization Something I had never done Until you came into my life I remember clear as day Asking for a piece of gum "Don't take the outside pieces!" I never understood your logic but followed this absurd rule of yours
Today I was taking a piece of gum out of the pack and there were only a few pieces left in the box all the remaining strips were on the outside
So even though I don't see you talk to you, think about you, or even love you anymore I realized that our time together has inherently imprinted on me And though you are no longer a part of my life I still carry these small pieces of you with meΒ Β
At first this upset me Since I don't really want anything to do with you but the more i thought about it the more I realized that you are not the only one And the more okay I am carrying pieces of people who have helped mold me into the woman that I am and the woman that I love.
