I miss our talks, I miss our banter, and I miss the gravitational pull we fought so diligently. But even though I miss you, you weren’t meant for me.

“

We must believe there’s a reason why things happen and why some things aren’t happening. Think about it as if the universe is doing this for us, not to us.

“

I think back on all of our little moments, but there was no such warning.

“

I miss feeling like out of all of the places on a map, I am your favorite place to go; I am the place you come home to no matter how far you travel.

“

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.
