There was a brief moment when I thought it was all over for me. I didn't want to keep going on with my life, there was no point. Without you with me, nothing else really mattered. My whole world came to a complete stop.

Until something incredible happened, time kept on going.

My first week without you was a rough one, I'm not going to lie, but there I was, still going on with my day, without you. Every day felt like it was never-ending, but I always got through them. At first, I couldn't think about anything but you. My grades got lower and lower. That's when I realized you actually were gone. Poof! Out of my life, you were. I had to accept the fact. It was hard, but I did it.

Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. Things were looking up for me again. I got my grades back in check and finished the semester with all A's. I haven't done that well in school in a long time. Things began to become much clearer to me. I made sure I kept all my priorities in line. But there was always one thing that blocked my train of thought. You.

You might be out of my life, but you surely weren't out of my mind.

I eventually learned to deal with thinking about you and still be able to go on with my day. With you always being in the back of my head makes me a stronger woman. Once I accepted that I couldn't do anything about it was when I hit my turning point. I stopped giving myself such a hard time every time you popped up and I let myself think about you.

These days I'm so busy that sometimes I don't even have enough time to stop and think for myself.

But whenever your face appears in my head, I let it stay awhile.
