so you took time to consider the break
even thinking about the amount of emotion it would take
the being alone
no texts, images, tweets or streaks from the phone
justifying to yourself it would be best for us both
allowing you to evolve and start working on the dreams you’d always hoped
the first few days and weeks were fine
to the pain and missing you had already resigned
you partied and dated, watched boxsets on trend
ate daily takeaways, slept and caught up with friends,
took your career more seriously staying to work after hours
made time for the gym to give your well being power
but the weeks turned to months and you watched the seasons fly
you turned to share a joke but only the empty space next to you caught your eye
the pain had subsided into an emptiness
a void only I could fill you had to confess
so what were the options now you had chosen to be free
getting back together seemed for you the only scenario that could be
yet solely reaching this decision you never stopped to clearly see
how in the time of the break I was no longer controlled but also free
I’d grown and found talents I never imagined I could do
adopted positive thinking, my confidence soon grew
my life had completely changed I’d dumped our negativity
without you in my life I could finally be me
