bitter-sweet


when i think of you my first thought:
you were a virus to me, a disease
and at second glance, a disappointment
third....i can see that you gave me something else
my eyes were opened to what i needed
who i am
and who i'd like to be
you challenged my generalizations
and asked me to think beyond the surface
you told me to be honest
and let me be
even if you weren't...
i appreciated that, growth and honesty
steps closer to a life fuller
even fuller without you
strange


now i'll choose which memories to keep
and which to throw away
