I found God
when I moved on
when I chose myself, instead
knowing there would be nights
I would be alone
stuck in my head.
I chose to see the sunrise first
when I open my eyes eachday
I chose sunny days
without you by my side.
I chose ice cream dates alone
and I got the extra sprinkles
So I'd enjoy my time.
I chose walking on the pier
knowing you're nowhere near
just to feel the kiss of life
on the ocean blue.
I've learned to feel
what's real
and it's been grand
not having a sweaty palm
holding my hand.
For all I've allowed myself to feel
I've found comfort
in surrendering
knowing that
how I take care of myself, first
is a BIG DEAL.
