"And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe."
Sometimes the hardest thing you've ever done comes in a moment so quickly, you barely even notice its arrival.
And then all of a sudden you're faced with a choice.
Sometimes the most painful choice you've ever made comes without a stab at the outset.
And then all of a sudden your breath is carried away by the strength of that familiar ache.
Sometimes the most life-changing choice comes silently.
And you don't think it means much at the time, but in the back of your mind someone says, "This is forever."
Sometimes you didn't even know you were still a slave.
And then you're suddenly liberated, rubbing the still-painful places on your wrists where the chains held you.
Sometimes the most pivotal moment of your life comes and you're not ready for it.
And then you live through it anyway.
Sometimes when confronted, you're conflicted.
But then you choose, knowing deep inside that it's the right path to take.
Sometimes you want to glance behind you, because what could've been looks better than what's right now.
And then you look forward, and what could've been doesn't even compare.
Sometimes the hardest thing you've ever done comes in a moment so quickly, you barely even notice its arrival.
And then all of a sudden you're faced with a choice.
And in one moment,
you make it.
