I lived many different lives, seen many things

But only did I ever come across the thing that made me feel free, loved

And that was you...

The way your lips fell onto mine after a long day of work

A simple forehead to make me feel so many things, alive was one

But you left me for someone else

And everything that I had for you went blank when you walked out of that door

It felt as if everything I had ever dreamed of for you, for us, just faded

My light had dimmed, and all I had seen was dark 

But my inner self was slamming, banging against the door wanting to get out

I never gave in to that temptation 

That was until the colors one day hit me that morning I had woke

I was no longer dreaming about what I had planned for our future

I felt no longer numb, but full of life, joy, happiness, and so much warmth

I found myself free of the dim light you had left on me
