i am grieving the loss of you in my sleep.
however, i hardly remember life with you.
hardly recognize who i was with you.
i think i became who you wanted.
neither of us were completely ourselves.
now, i am so far removed from "us".
so far removed from who i was with you.
if i saw her today, i wouldn't recognize her.
she was a reflection of you, too scared to leave.
for that reason, i am glad you left me.
it showed me who you really are.
it showed me who i became under your spell.
and so i only grieve you in my sleep.
when i am awake, i am already over you.
