By the time you left

I learned how to love myself more
I did not regret making you as my world before
Because I loved how it turned out
I felt happiness and cloud 9 even I was at the south

By the time you left
I discovered my ability to let my words speak
It was the freedom that my heart tried to seek
Because I was amazed on how my hand moved
As I think of the feeling in my mind that grooved

By the time you left
I realized that my body ain't the same anymore
I burned the fats from the luscious foods we shared before
Because I saw how your eyes locked
To those girls you saw and got shocked

By the time you left
I appreciated myself even more
Even if I had high fever and throat that sore
I sensed the urge in me to get rid of the torment
Even that was at the spur of the moment

I felt that I am alive and young
That I should live my life still and strong
That I should love myself even if I have muffin tops
That I should have more time to buy OOTDs at the clothes shops

And most importantly,
That I should not be wasting my time
For someone who is no longer mine

Thank you for leaving me with a heartache
Thank you for letting me see how wonderful I am

Even without you, the world I once knew.
