Photos tucked away neatly in drawers
Busied myself with dishes and chores
Booked dates for a future I never had seen
Listened to elders I didn't believe
Let friends sit beside me in silence and calm
Let family get closer without sounding alarm
Autumn came in, colder and dark
As a dear friend to prepare me for my first winter apart
Was still in denial as I argued with all
Now no longer desperately expecting a call
Made plans for myself, new and improved
Worked on my confidence, found out I was smooth
Made friends of old enemies and corrected neglect
Of a few former friendships I need to protect
Started living my life one day at a time
Took a deep breath and my breathing was fine
I still hold a secret I can't tell anyone
For they won't understand what they never have done
Self-love is important and moving on hard
But I can be happy on my own now and that's a good start
