The women whom I love and admire for their strength and grace did not get that way because their shit worked out. They got that way because shit went wrong, and they handled it. They handled it a thousand different ways on a thousand different days, but they handled it. Those women are my superheroes.

Two years later
A girl sits in front of her ex lover.

He doesn’t say a word
And her heart doesn’t ache for him anymore.

Her hair is longer than it’s ever been.
She is even more beautiful than the day he left her.

And at that moment,
He panics.
He lost her.

And he can never have her back.
He can just watch her be beautiful
And in love
With someone else.
