10 years
A decade since you entered my life
Neither excited nor sad
You were my new normal
I had taken pride in you
There was this new adrenaline rush
There were days when you gave it your all
And days you gave me exactly what I needed
But I never expected you to stay so long
You had to leave eventually
I knew that
I knew one day you had to leave me
I knew your expiry date
A day you'd no longer be part of my life
I thought I was ready for that day
But it all changed 10 Years later
They tried to take you away from me
Yet you stayed
You found a way back into my life
Stronger than before
I knew you were harmful
You were slowly killing me
Moreover my future
In my foolishness, I accepted it all
10 years later
Here I stand, watching you be replaced
I'm not ready for that
I'd rather have you vanish from my life than replace you
Yet here I'm with someone new
Creeping in slowly
To be my new normal
