Regardless, grateful

by Guilty By Design   Sep 22, 2020


They say you don't know what you have until it's gone
I have to say, I've been really missing you as of late
It's been quite some time, it's fogging up my mind
Not sure where I lost you, it's something I debate

Was it bound to happen? It's just not the same
It's rare but sometimes I still get glimpses of you
I know you're not coming back, I'm not that naive
It's not something that I can simply just undo

I'm not ungrateful - I wasn't ready to say goodbye
My life changed in a split second three years ago
My therapist says I'm post-traumatic stressing
It's not something I can explain though

The good days were purely tolerable
After a while I got so good at hiding it
I could almost swear I would be a-okay
Gave myself the benefit of the doubt, a bit

The bad days though, they were absolutely terrible
Pain is consuming, after a while, I simply lost you
I'm working through things, but I know I can't go back
Life will forever be different, I have to accept this new

I'm glad my days are no longer simply bearable
I'm making progress and it's something that I see
I might've lose you but the worst is over
It'll take some time, eventually I'll become a better me.
