I ripped into every molecule of myself after you were gone, experimented with my mental state, made myself into a kid's science kit. I got myself high until I realized that just wouldn't work anymore.
I changed myself at first to try to get you to come back to me. But I am like an apple that leaves a sense of bitterness at the first bite - you don't sense the sweetness until later. Once I realized you were gone for good, I taught myself how to be a person I couldn't hate for the same reasons anymore. I metamorphosized into a person who would apologize first no matter whose fault it was.
