I Met You.

I spent a lot of time searching for affection in shallow spaces. 

I gave people bits of me they didn't deserve and I let myself be hurt, 

because I thought that's what I deserved. 

But once I let go of trying to shove puzzle pieces in places that did not fit, 

once I let go of all the hate I secretly had stored in the gashes that decorate my heart. 

I met you.
