The hardest is always day 5 Day 5 is usually when I give in, give way, collapse, lapse Day 5 is like those Fridays when I was so far from you Aching for you is the loudest on days like that But then goes 5 days 5 days without talking to you Then a week And every second gets easier Because I’ve been listening to music Music I shared with you But I’m starting to figure out it’s still mine You never even appreciated it So I’m reclaiming it I’m reclaiming all of me And I’m finding being on my own And rediscovering myself Isn’t an act I can do out of spite for the way you treated me Things like this happen in time all their own Seconds pass, minutes, hours I read, I listen, I run, I hike, I experience I laugh and cry and sometimes the aching still seeps in But mostly I grow and change and heal I have no anger for you anymore In some odd way I'm thankful things happened the way they did Thankful to have the chance to discover that I still have this within me Happy to be healing
