And

And then the day came when I realized
I couldn’t keep drowning with you
and it was hard to let go
and trust that I could swim on my own
I was scared and unsure how to be without you.
And then the day came when I found the courage
and I let go
and I gasped for air
and I struggled
and I wasn’t sure I would make it
without you.
And then the day came when I swam on my own
and I could breathe and I was okay
and the laughter returned
and because I had realized
and because I had let go
and because I trusted myself
to breathe and swim on my own
without you
with me, only me
it was then when it happened.
The day came when I flew.
