Forever Changed

I started over. But it is still so hard for me to forget. I learned a lot of lessons and I still punish myself for not paying attention sooner. My life has changed. My outlook has changed. For the better in my eyes; not in any others.

He made a promise to our family that he didn't keep. Left me alone to raise him alone. We are doing just fine.

I used to say I wanted five of them. Now I cringe at the question, "when are you going to do it again?". Forever changed . . .

There was a time I dreamed of forever without rings. There was a time that I believed that love meant something. Forever changed . . .

There was a time when I would swoon at his every word. There was a time life and I thought we couldn't exist without love. Forever changed . . .

Yea, now I am considered damaged goods.

I move forward everyday. In every aspect of my life, fully expectant of going at it alone. I rarely, if ever believe anyone's "word".

I am a free bird carrying the weight of the world, yet I still manage to fly . . . High. Fly with me? Forever changed . . .
