But she needed to do it for someone else.
For the sanity of her soul.
For the pounding of her heart.
Kaci Baum
And she knew if she stayed, she would eventually resent you.
Its not because she didnt adore you.
Its not because she didnt picture a future with you.
Its not because you werent what she was looking for.
But you see, she needed to be free.
Free from your love.
Kaci Baum
Free from the ties.
Free from the ropes that bound her.
Free from her home.
She just needed to run.
She needed to run from the life she knewbefore.
She needed to run from the people she knew before.
She needed to run from her home and her country small town.
Not because she had to, but because she wanted to.
She didnt do it out of hatred or out of spite.
She didnt do it out of selfishness.
She did it, because she wanted to live the best life that she possibly could.
And she couldnt do that bystaying.
She had to leave all that was familiar to her.
She had to walk towards the unknown.
To walk towards new people, new experiences and to a new her.
Dont think that it wasnt hard for her.
Dont think that it wasnt heartbreaking.
Because her heart broke.
It broke to see all the people she loved waving goodbye.
And it especially broke when she had to walk away from you.
She had to finally put herself first.
She had to finally explore everything that she had not touched and tasted yet.
She had to shake hands that were foreign to her.
She had to dance at new bars she had never stepped foot on before.
And most importantly, she had to leave, because she had to find herself.
At home, with you, she was comfortable.
But she needed so much more than that.
But she needed to do it for someone else.
For the sanity of her soul.
For the pounding of her heart.
She needed to do it for the oxygen in her lungs.
To lift that weight off.
The weight of her past loves, her past spaces and past self.
She needed toleaveyou because she needed to change herself.
Not for her parents or friends.
She had to leave you to make it be a happier person.
Because with you, she was on the ground.
She can finally fly.
And she can soar without being afraid of falling.
