it felt different then
like i put up a wall to separate myself
and to protect me from what?
myself?
it feels different now
like i can finally breathe
like the weight of a dark cloud has been slowly disappearing
and i can see the sunlight now
and more and more of it peaks through
i thought it would feel different
like i would suddenly notice it
but it never felt like that
it always came in the little things
the little jokes
the little smiles
the little moments i had failed to cherish before
but now i can feel
and i feel all of it.
