You

You came into my life when I least expected it.
Next thing I knew, we were together, and I was truly amazed by it.
You made me feel alive, like if nothing else mattered.
You never failed to make me feel loved and flattered.

Time passed, and much like everything else in life, we began to fade away.
You became distant, you wouldn't even give me the time of day.
Although I saw it coming, it still caught me by surprise.
What started off as a normal day ended with tears pouring from my eyes.

And just like that we were done.
I thought my life was over.
I thought my heart would never recover.
I thought I wasn't capable of moving on.
But now I know I had it all wrong.

My life is not over.
My heart has recovered.
I have moved on,
because what they say is true- time does heal all wounds.

You thought you broke me.
You thought you won,
but with you long gone my life has really just begun.
I'm off to bigger and better things.
I'm starting anew.
And you know what?
I'm delighted to say, I'm doing it all without you.
