You told me not to fear as the dark clouds came rolling in, you wanted to teach me what is was to be strong. When the rain got to be too much and the winds ripped us apart I tried to desperately reach for your hand but you ran for shelter leaving me to fight this storm alone. I want you to know I made it out, fear will keep you but I won't let it keep me. You didn't teach me strength but something far more valuable in your absence; I can withstand anything without you.
