I was finally okay. I had severed every single inch of me that was still tethered across time and space to you. Wherever you are.
I had simply parted ways with those pieces of myself, and I finally felt light and free. And I had become so accustomed to the pain from those still healing wounds that I didn't even notice them anymore.
Then it happened. It's not exactly that I was looking. I wasn't. Not at all. I guess it found me. I'd call it fate or serendipity. But those words are too pretty for how I feel.
You look good. You look happy. It shouldn't hurt. But it does.
