How Was I to Know?

I never would have believed 
That it was all going to be okay
Watching you walk away. 
You were my whole world. 
I promised to stand by you
Until death came between us. 
My heart shattered.
My dreams broke. 
How was I to know
That it would all turn out okay? 
I was so afraid to face this world alone. 
But now I know exactly
What I’m made of. 
I know how strong I am. 
You walking away
Made me realize what I was afraid of. 
I wasn’t afraid of losing you.
No,
I was afraid of my 
Freedom.
