I Laugh -

I parted my lips with a breath of a "no"
as you turned
and walked out the door.
I couldn't believe that you
had actually gone.

Dark clouds had blinded me for so long,
that the sun
was once only a faint memory.
My laughter was lost somewhere
in the past.

The person in the mirror
was no longer me.
To imagine that I was
once that stupid girl; who
thought that your leaving,
was my life ending;
I laugh.

And with those lips I smile,
to realize that it was
you, who let ME leave,
and that my life has just begun.
