I looked around today
And realized,
I survived
An entire semester without you.
An entire semester.
I didn't think I could survive
A month without you,
Let alone four
The feelings that tortured me
Mere months ago
Are far more fleeting now
They are much less severe
I don't grieve as I did
I don't suffer as I was
My chest rarely
Aches so horribly
That I feel as though
Someone is twisting a dagger within my heart
Four months ago,
I didn't think I could survive
A semester without you.
Now?
I think I'll perhaps be able
To survive
The rest of my life
Without you
If I must
