Her Story.

Everything always came down to you.

Her happiness.

Her motivation.

Her story.

It all came down to you.

You were her creator.

The beginning of her journey.

You were her success story.

Were.

Past tense.

You were her everything.

Her happiness.

Her motivation.

You were her story.

God,

it probably kills you knowing just how

successful

she has been without you.

God,

it probably kills you knowing that

she didn't actually need you.

She didn't actually need anything from you.

She made her own story.

She made her own happiness.

Without you.

Without your pain.

Without your decisions.

She did that,

not you.

She grew up,

without you.

She became a success,

without you.

She did that.

No thanks to you.

She became her own story.

Everything all comes back to her.

Her happiness.

Her motivation.

Her story.

It all comes down to her.

You were her creator,

but you are not her story.
