Depressing thoughts

27

I'm eight days clean,
My longest in a long time,
I finally talked to someone,
He listened and cared,
He heard my pain,
And gave me the one thing,
I've been longing for,
A reason to stay,
To live today,
And the next after,
He is an amazing guy,
I can't believe,
I found someone to hear my cries,
We will never be anything,
But friendships a bond,
I've been longing for,
For a long time.

I talked to someone, and he asked the one question I've never had.
Do you want to talk about him?
This made my life, he also said;
The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.
This made me realise, I never stopped dwelling on the past.
All I can say is thank you!
