"I like to think that I'd be kind.
I want to talk about my open mind.
I want to believe that I'd welcome her,
Yet I'd never go back to what we were.

I think I've finally learned to forgive.
Accept this ending and go on to live.
I look back on our history fondly now,
Even if I can't quite understand how.

How we fell so hard and got back up,
Abruptly ending after so much buildup.
But I have decided I don't need an explanation.
I think it's finally ok to abandon this creation.

And I feel at peace, and empty, and silent.
Almost like I'm operating on autopilot.
Go about my day and think about nothing.
Though I suppose it's both nothing and everything.

I think it's easy to say I'm better.
Not good by a mile, but I'm getting there.
I have novels and friends and poems.
Even if I'm still drowning in emotions."
