if you loved me,
you would’ve stayed.

you walked away,
left me
to challenge myself,
to question everything,
to discover anything.

a world of possibilities
was laid out in front of me.
a passion to find my real self
burned in my soul.

you took my fears and insecurities
with you, among the stars.
you wrecked my façade
of a life,
and gave me a taste of yours.

addiction of endless opportunities,
daring me to jump head-first recklessly
into exploration of things
i never spoke of.

you,
made me,
into someone,
i could never imagine.

and

i love you for that.
