“I let you go because you wouldn’t let up on me, pressing the air out of my lungs. I needed to breathe freely. I hoped for a clean cut but you wouldn’t give up easily. It wasn’t that you were fighting for me, it was that you were fighting for dominance over me. I got free despite your furious flurry of accusations and manipulations. You wanted me to keep an open mind so you could occupy mine. I was blind for too long but now I see your true colors. All the red flags behind me blaze a trail leading to you. But it’s okay, at least I got away. Changed lanes from the speed trap I flew down with you to a slower, steadier pace. Found my way back to healing, helped along by people who know how to love.”
