I've moved on from you

Given up on a future

You left without a trace

Like a leaf, lost in a breeze

I was reminded that permanence

Isn't permanent after all

I left your ghost behind

And started over

I became a better version

Of myself

I used this freedom

To discover myself

To understand the being

That hid from the world

I learnt to embrace myself

Over worrying about what

You thought

I forged the new me

Out of the smoldering remnants

I improved myself

And stayed open

To new opportunities

I grew as an individual

I remade myself

After losing you

I'm not going to look back

It took pain

Pain made me realize

I wasn't happy

Heartbreak made me stronger

Out of the shadows I stroll

A person reborn
