By the time you read this....
By the time you read this, I will be gone...
I will have moved on from one level of consciousness to another
From one level of existing to another level of existence
You see, you told me the truth many of times but I kept hoping you'd change your mind but as time went on, you wouldn't change...
You kept telling me how much you loved me by your actions and I kept hoping your actions would change
You kept showing me the depth of how you felt about me and about our connection and I kept making excuses like you are tired, overworked or hungry
And so, I ended my life and broke my own heart and I released all the dreams I had for "us"...
I took a bullet and ended what I knew as love and died slowly until I re-emerged as...
Queen
Empress
Goddess
I was reborn into something you could NEVER steal from or brake
You taught me such valuable lessons and I am grateful for the lessons
I took with me the air and the water so you too could die in hopes that you will be reborn into greater for the next soul in your life
Your access to my existence has been revoked and never to be restored again
