after six months of rehab and 

counseling, i was finally out

and able to live a fully functional

life. or so they told me.

they didn't know how i saw her

in everything, how i felt like

i could grab her hand if only

i wanted it hard enough

and they certainly didn't 

know what it was like to

be forced to move on

from something so heartbreaking.

i didn't blame myself any

longer, no, i tried to

force myself to think

about the time we'd spent together.

but that only made my longing

for her stronger.

a longing i could never have

fulfilled.
