On a Happy Report

I am here to report
that I am happy
happy, happy beyond my wildest dreams
and that despite your 
most fervent hopes
I did not fall into despair
I did not flail into disrepair

and despite your 
most confident expectations
your leaving 
was the best thing 
that could have happened
your absence
was what truly saved me

I am here to report
that I need nothing from you
that my happiness no longer depends
on wondering if you are happy too.
