I Was Weak; Now I'm Strong

When you moved away,
I thought my life was over.
How could I go on
When I wouldn't see you all the time?

Please come back soon.
Don't be gone for
More than six months...
I don't know if my heart can take it.

I love you so much.
I'm lost without you.
I don't know how to be happy
When all I feel is sadness, because you're not there.

I know I need to grow up,
And not be so attached;
But you've got to understand
That you're basically all I have.

A few months have passed now,
I still miss you very much.
Yet I kinda like the alone time I'm having.
It's like I'm getting to know myself for the first time.

I didn't think I'd be strong enough
To live on my own,
Away from you.
I knew I'd suffer too much from your absence.

Of course I had some trouble.
Some days were harder than others.
But as the days went by,
I seemed to be getting stronger.

I could finally go a whole week
Without crying because I missed you.
Of course, I still want you to come back...
But now I understand why you needed space.

Sometimes we have to get away,
Take a vacation from our lives.
I know you needed yours,
And when you left, I got mine for free.

Now it's months later...
And you're back at home with me.
I'm glad we had the chance to grow.
And learn more about who we are inside.
