Today the calendar hit the dreaded day
The day that marks one year
The day that I saw from a distance
It was my only one big fear
All was blurred by my waterfall of tears
Moments washed away in the flood
Everything was rapidly moving
Sadness was in my blood
Thinking in a thick fog that there was no oxygen
Not feeling that my life was real
Knowing that although I felt suffocated
Everything felt so surreal
Turbulent days, weeks and months have settled
Anticipation of happiness in all that I do
I woke up today and realized
I survived 365 days without you
