Contrast

You've just told me that we are no more.
With two words you have destroyed:
My world.
My dreams.
My hopes.
My friends say that it's your fault.
That you don't value me.
I disagree.
For I valued you more that life itself.
But that was not enough for you.
Or maybe it was to much for you.
I see you and my heart breaks again and again.
The world seems pointless without you and me.
But as I hold the pieces of my heart in my hands.
I realize.
That the world is full of life, happiness and optimism.
I now have to thank you for destroying me.
For as phoenix rises from the ashes, so I am reborn.
And I now realize and appreciate the world and life that I have been given.
Thank you.
And as someone famous once said:
"I'd rather live one day as a lion, than a century as a lamb"
I am no longer scared of life and it's challenges.
What's more, I relish them!
