I'm enjoying the moment,
I'm taking in the day.
I don't need your nonsense
in any form or way.
From the moment I wake up
till I'm fast asleep,
I celebrate this life and
all it seems to bring.
You might have let go
and walked away
but I have survived
in my own way.
First, I was frightened
I didn't want to be alone
and then it occurred to
me that I have truly grown.
I no longer struggle
for something that don't exist,
or beg in silence
for your kiss.
This world I live in
now nested in peace,
and if I need your visit
I still have my dreams.
