How did I end up in this alone?

All of the groundwork I contributed to ensure that we would end up together.

Yet I find myself accomplishing everything alone.

There is no solemnness, no bitterness.

Because of the hurt I have felt;

I will be stronger.

Because of the feats I have conquered;

I will be wiser.

I will be independent.

I do not need another person.

All I need is my own determination and faith.

So thank you;

Thank you for leaving me alone.

And thank you for letting me fall.

And thank you for cutting me deep,

and watching me bleed

For now I know that I can withstand more than I would have ever known.
