it's been almost a month since you've been gone from my life.
away, far far away.
i feel the memories of you fading more and more.
and you're okay with it.
i'm fading from you, like a telephone line drifting off to static.
from happy moments of joy, to almost nothing.
nothing but silence, yeah.
it's been almost a month since you've been gone from my life.

the more you're away,
the more i'm embracing my skin.
not my skin, literally. but overall. myself.
i'm finding out who i am.
my purpose.
my life.
maybe you weren't supposed to be in it.
i can't cling to you anymore.
i can only cling to myself.
your actions say all of the answers.
and yes, i'm okay with that.
i love my skin.
it's beautiful.
my skin.
