I've been so focused on trying to survive without you,
that I forgot the years I lived before I heard your name.
I tried for so long to make peace with who I thought you were,
that I didn't realize who you were actually becoming.
I've spent so many hours wondering why I wasn't enough,
that I failed to see how much I truly deserve.

I've been so focused on trying to survive without you,
that I forgot the years I lived before I heard your name.
I tried for so long to make peace with who I thought you were,
that I didn't realize who you were actually becoming.
I've spent so many hours wondering why I wasn't enough,
that I failed to see how much I truly deserve.
I haven't written in ages, so here is a little piece I did today as a way of trying to ease myself back into the flow of creative writing. Enjoy.
