Retracing my steps

---

Lately i've been trying to retrace my steps,

trying to remember when I lost myself.

Retracing back to every broken relationship, every empty promise made, and to every single person who had let me save them, before I ever had the chance of saving myself.

You see, I love in a way words can't really explain.

it's somewhere along the lines of wanting the best for people and sacrificing every ounce of my being to give it to them.

Doing everything in my power to heal someone who is too broken,

to change someone who doesn't want to be changed

and to continuously give the pieces of me

until there is nothing left to give.

When did I go missing?

I've been trying to retrace my steps,

trying to see where I went wrong.

Do I love too hard,

fall to easily?

Maybe it's my burden to give,

or my desire to see the best in people.

Maybe I went wrong in believing everyone held the same heart as me.

But I think it's time to start putting all that love back into me.

So that I can start -

investing in,

healing,

and saving

me.

So I'll just retrace my steps

until I get back to

me.
