I realized something today. I realized something while I walked down the hallways with a smile forcing its way onto my face. I realized something when I sat on the gym floor, my lungs squeezing the last atoms of oxygen from the room. I realized that I have a new life, I have a chance to make something my own. I have the ability to wrap myself in the cool waters of affability, a new persona that I can immerse myself in. I realized that I do not have to touch walls that you have run your fingers along. I realized I do not have to tread tiles that you have stepped on. I realized something that is more important than anything that I could have discovered in many lifetimes hiding in your shadow.
The air is still breathable if it does not carry your scent; sometimes, even more so.
And my chest feels lighter without your fingernails digging into my heart.
It's for the better, you and I.
