The Grass is Greener on the Other Side

Since you have left me the world has been brighter

the sky bluer, the color of the flowers deeper.

A part of me despises the adults that told me that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

I was scared that if I left you, my struggling field would turn into a desert and I would lose the last bit of life.

But leaving you felt like opening the fence gate and walking out from a struggling backyard straight into a lush forest.

Turns out they were all wrong.

The grass most definitely is greener without you in my life.
