I woke up today
feeling different
than I did yesterday.
Maybe it’s because
I woke up without you
laying next to me.
Either way,
for whatever reason,
I feel different.
I no longer count
the minutes until you
tell me that you love me.
I am able to hide
the truth from myself;
the truth about you.
No matter where I go,
or what I do, you are
always in my thoughts.
I woke up today
feeling different;
feeling more free.
Because when I
woke up today,
I no longer needed you.
