Consequential strangers

I am meeting new people
I am going new places
I am craving all the things I did not get from you
All the things I didn't involve myself with

I am listening to new stories
I am giving head to everyone
I am taking up suggestions and ordeals up my stride
I am reborn or should I say I've grown myself out of you

I am learning so much
New things that widen my perspective
I have compassion and empathy for consequential strangers
This sounds unlike me
Yet, I am up for it because now it feels good

Anything that doesn't feel like you feels good
Anything that reminds me of you reminds me of the toxicity
But everything reminds me of you at the end of the day
And I am enticed by the people with your facade

There is so much craving in me now
As there is so much love
As there is so much guilt
So much serendipitous trepidation
And I am up for it all

And I want to say thank you
This is not the end of us
This is where I learn to let go of a passing cloud
This is where I am gonna carry on

I am not broken now
But I was entirely shattered at one point of time,
for a long time
I say it proudly
I write it out to the world

I don't regret meeting you
I am happy to have had you in my happy life
Thank you for being there when I needed you
And thank you for not
