I.
I used to think that without you I would forget.
Forget how to breathe,
Forget how to see,
Forget how to dream.
I would forget the kindness in the world,
The brilliance,
Beauty,
Sweetness,
All of which you found in me.
I believed without you,
There would be no me.
II.
I saw the world with your faded grace.
I saw the world slowly dim as memories became empty space.
I saw the world crumble with every face you misplaced,
I saw my world die with one final embrace.
III.
And now.
Now I remember.
Now I carry on.
Now I am the one who is strong.
I’m not moving forward,
Or becoming someone new.
Now I am the me, that you always knew.
IIII.
Flying high,
Wings soaring toward the sun.
You always knew, even without you,
My life had just begun.
V.
So teach me caution with a chance for joy,
Teach me dreaming with no sense of fear to employ.
Teach me to long for all that I can be.
With your absence, teach me.
