When you left,
it almost felt like
shedding a part of me.
Almost!

And a while later,
I shed an old habit.
Good riddance, this once!

I let people take
me for granted.
I believed it's a privilege
they earn from my love.

When you left, though,
I realised it's an exit ticket.

Those in my world,
try taking me for granted,
and I'll open the door for you.
