That one day in March

That one day in March

You said “I think you should leave.”

I sighed, long and deep, like it was my last breath.

I made a few calls, I found the way.

I cried, not because I was sad, but because I found the way out, I found the path.

Now, over a year later, here I am, alive, breathing, happy; I have the most incredible person beside me. She’s not with me while I write this, but just a quick thought towards her makes me smile.

I am truly grateful for the hurtful things you did to me.
