“

It hurts to admit that I love you and that I miss you.

“

Because being with you was so easy when it was, and impossible when it wasn’t. It was always stopping and starting, trying to make something out of nothing. 

“

The truth is, our lives are going to be hard, even if and when we pray or listen or rely on Him. But in all things, all moments, all days, all challenges—He is good.

“

Sometimes God uses the tough moments to teach us. That we do not have to exist here on our own. That we should never carry burdens without help. That we are infinitely valuable, even when we don’t believe or see this worth.

“

Pain is not meant to end you. Bad days are not all there is. Weakness is not what defines you. And the broken pieces of you do not reflect who you are.

“

And I’d like to think that in another universe, we got to stay together.

“

Time does not stop those souls who were made for each other.

“

And in your leaving, I found a strength inside me to make it through each day without you.

“

But sometimes no matter how hard you try, love isn’t enough. Love cannot change the fact that the futures you both want are different.

“

You will always be the best thing that I have set free.
