After the betrayal
After the heartbreak
After the ultimatum
After the screams and the tears and the collapse.
After the blame
After the lawyers
After the settlement
After the removing and the replacing.
After the silence
After the worry
After the guilt
After the insecurity and aloneness and failure.
After the sunrise
After the risk
After the false bravado
After the stepping out and diving in and pushing through.
After the strengthening
After the confidence
After the empowerment
After the reflection and the acceptance and the re-creation.
After life…comes After Life.
