I came back to Myself
One year from now.
If you came back to me...
I probably would not believe it.
Did he come back?
They would ask.
And I would reply.
Yes.
And then I would say.
I chose myself anyway.
Because that is the thing about losing someone you love.
You end up finding yourself and having a glow up.
You shine bright when you walk in the rooms,
fill them with smiles and laughter.
Your friends and family tell you.
You are looking so much happier.
I will come home and feel myself be lighter.
Light a candle, brush my hair, lay in bed and read a book.
Maybe color in the lines and paint my nails...
Do all of the routines that help me ground myself to me.
Today, I love myself.
A year ago, I would not have believed you.
If you told me, I came back to myself.
