Now that I'm happy...

I miss you more now that I'm happier.

Before I missed you because I knew I was keeping us apart, and I needed you (or thought I did) to stay alive. You were my air, my water, my lifeline.

Now I miss you because I remember the fun we used to have, before I died so much inside. I do need you - to live with me, to let me live. You are my sister, my heart, my soul.

Now I can live with you, rather than drain your life as well as my own.

This makes me happy. I can appreciate you the way you should be, because now I know that I can be appreciated too.

I miss you more now that I'm more free of myself. Now that I'm coming out of the darkness, your light brightens rather than blinds and burns.

I still miss you, which is sad. But I think it's better that I want you around to help me live, rather than need you around to help me stay alive.
