Everything that I do reminds me of you in some way or another. I cannot even touch myself anymore without crumbling at the knowledge that I’ll never feel the tender electricity of your embrace again. 

“

I like to think I have moved on, and maybe in some way I have. But on other days, I still wake up dreaming about you.

“

I’m going to forget about my broken heart, the unanswered text messages, and the absence of closure, and I’m going to let myself miss you. 

“

You don’t deserve a one-word text. You don’t deserve a smile. You don’t deserve to be a passing thought in my mind, let alone a reoccurring one I can’t get out of my head. 

“

I hope you find yourself again in all this chaos and heartbreak. I hope you fall back into the things you love about life and not just the part of your life you loved someone. I hope you learn to like walking alone and realize you don’t have to be lonely doing so.

His words touch me more than his hands can and I have to convince myself that he isn’t just an illusion. He exists as much as my lips can kiss and I’m tonguing down air right now. 

“

It was then that I realized that there was a world bigger than I was, and that was you.

“

I let myself think about all of the things that come to mind when people who know our story ask me what the hell I saw in you anyway. And I do remember what I saw in you. I do. 

“

Up until yesterday, I was fine.

Take me back to that Sunday when everything in life felt right, like there was nothing left for us to change as we revealed our deepest fears.
