I used to think that you were everything
And without you, I was nothing.
I'd watch the rain roll down the window
As tears slid down my cheeks.
Sometimes when I'd think of us together,,
That pain would creep in and engulf me again.
My eyes would sting at the sight
Of your half-hearted smile
And I would feel so incomplete. . . so empty.
But now I'm stronger,
Your harsh words have calloused my heart,
Making it unfeeling to the pain
That once would have torn me apart.
I've learned that without you,
I am still a person and
That others do care, even if you don't.
I see the sun and it makes me smile,
I feel it's warmth and I know that I can be happy.....
Even without you.
