I heard We, not I, as this thing grew.
Two souls who built from broken to new, positive spaces.
It was clear to me that We would grow and learn each other.
When I had success, We had more.
When you had success, We became more.
You declared yourself healed — better — and I thought We had become stronger.
You voiced your concerns for me, and I believed We would work toward a better state.
I never thought myself perfect.
I knew you were no better.
But We were.
I’m sorry I didn’t hear the I until you said We were no more.
