because i am selfish
because i want my story to be heard
because i want to be known

there is a part of me that just wants you to know and to acknowledge
that walking away took alot of strength on my part
and that letting go is a daily process for me, to wake, to pray and to surrender myself to reality over and over again.


but then i guess, on your side, if i tried to shuffle around in your shoes
i wouldn't know what to say. maybe you look at all this and just have no words or form to respond
or maybe you don't think about this at all

it is not resentment or unforgiveness i struggle with.
it's just loss,
inexplicable loss

hey you,
i wonder how you are today
