“you’ve come back, but i no longer need you”. you were my everything. the oxygen in my lungs, but after you left i learned how to breathe again, breathe by myself. i no longer need you. the rose that pricked me when i touched it. the water that drowned me when i tried to swim. i see it now. i see the garden full of flowers, the lifeboats trying to save me. why did it have to be you? why did i need you so bad. maybe it was the perfect appearance , the perfect personality. perfection that was short lasted, temporary. but when you come back now, i see you, the real you. the one that came out during the dark times. the true face that showed after the mask fell. i didn’t want to believe it. believe that the man i loved was a front. but now im glad, glad that i only have to move on from who i thought you were. so no, i no longer need you, i never even knew you.
