I saw you today.
It's been a while since I reluctantly picked up the pieces of my shattered heart and walked away from you. The pain and fear that held me hostage have grown into a strong vulnerability, a quiet faith in myself.
I still miss the idea of you, the ways I imagined it could be.
The reality was broken promises and empty words meant to keep me hanging on. I have accepted my part in the drama, and released myself from the guilt I created in my core.
As you walked out the door carrying your burden without a word or glance my direction - I realized I had waited long enough.
I could say hello and goodbye in the same breath without breaking.
