I used to get scared of life without you in it,

You meant the world to me and I didn’t know how to show you,

Colour became bland,

Taste became boring,

Existence became benign,

Life without you is not life,

I used to get scared of life without you in it,

I would heard stories as a child about finding someone I can’t live without and I did,

You were amazing,

And then you left,

I spiralled and I cried,

Life without you is not life,

I used to get scared of life without you in it,

My peers told me time would heal my wounds and that I would be okay,

I explored and I adventured,

I worked on myself to be who you wanted me to be,

We reconnected for a moment and it was great,

But life with you is not life,

I used to get scared of life without you in it,

We may have meant to be together,

Just not meant to last,

Time has shown me self love is true love,

Existence has so much beauty that needs to be unlocked,

Life without myself is not life.
