I Am Not the Same Person I Used to Be

Your name used to be
A song upon my lips
I remember
Your passion for life
I recall that look
In your brown eyes
We were together
A fresh new start for me
For you, I was a woman
Who thought I knew Love
What did I know? Nothing...
There were years
Long, long, lonely years
Too few smiles
Far more tears
I lost myself
I searched for myself
I found I needed
To be Free
I found the courage
To move on
Without you
With me
Can I forgive you
For this experiment
No, perhaps someday, yes
I will never die
That way again
I live now
I will forget you
I never will forget
Me...

You let go and moved on to grow. To stay anchored to him you would have perished. Even if you can't forgive, try not to stay angry; the anger will only hurt you. Change can lead to new life.

You have no idea what he did to me, Nocturnal. I still have flashes of anger in the memories. It became abusive physically in the end and I had to call upon the police a few times. And he unraveled mentally too. I purge by talking and by counting my blessings. Change is positive for me especially now. Thank you for your kindness.
