You.

You. 1982 (South Carolina)

You were my best friend.
You were my confidante.
You were my home.
You were my husband.
You broke me into a million pieces time and time again, yet I stayed and fought for You.
You freed me, You made me realize my heart is too giving for You.
You made me free.
You made me whole again.
You made me, ME.
