it would seem that time does heal all wounds
when the truth is revealed to you
not 2 months after i thought my life had ended i was reborn
did not know that a casual meeting would lead to the person with whom i would spend the rest of my life.

the clarity that comes with truly finding the one is astounding.
the air is cleaner, the water crisper, the food more, and more

the person who thought that all was lost
was a girl who was not being honest with herself.
a girl who let another dictate what where and when.
that girl was sacred to say what she wanted
how she wanted it
and why she wouldn't take no for an answer.
she was a girl whose mother didn't know who she was anymore.
she was a girl i didn't know anymore.
that girl got her life back.
she became real with herself
she became real.
she became less afraid of what was
what could
what should
and what is.
she let it all go
she let life in
she let life in, all the way in.

from that inhalation,
from the deepest breathe she'd ever taken
she was able let love back in.

and to that end she is living happily ever after.

*it feels good to be back.
