"In all that time—as brief as it felt,

I never knew what I had.

You found me at my worst.

You would say the same about yourself, but…

That was the worst part about you.

You never saw what I could see in you.

We were both lost when we found each other.

You always blamed yourself for the mistakes you made
along the way,

But you saved me.

Nevermind how rough things were,

Those turbulent days we shared were the ones that defined me.

That brief, scary, lovely, part of my life will never leave me.

Only now do I understand how lucky I was,

And how lucky I continue to be for the gift of such a memory."
