Learning to breathe again

The day I am grateful for loneliness is the day that I truly live

I cannot live within these barriers of myself again, 

I simply CANNOT. 

I forbid it. 

The day that I told myself I was better off a lone, I was fine.  

At the time, it seemed believable.

All until the day that you waltzed into my world and swooped me up off my feet. 

You gave me a fresh breath of air; a new set of lungs. 

I could finally BREATHE again.
