The Lesson
When you left I looked for youin all the faces I saw,in every crowded street,in all the places we had been.When you left I finally understoodforever is but a momentand happiness is usually hidden awayin all the small things.When you left I learned so muchabout myself and my defense mechanismsabout my lack of self-esteemabout all the little annoying things that made me.I cried at first.I felt such void.When you leftI thought life was over.So I should thank you,for showing me myself,for showing me I'm stronger than thatfor letting me know there's so much more to life than you.© Máh Lima
