I didn't just miss you. I mourned you like a funeral no one attended. No flowers, no goodbye, no closure. Just me, sitting alone with all the love I still had for you, burying a person who is still alive.
I grieved for you while you were still breathing somewhere else. While you were moving on, I was learning how to live in a world where you no longer existed for me. That's how deeply l loved you.
Be careful how many times you hurt someone who keeps choosing you. Every time they forgive you, you might think everything went back to normal. It didn’t. Something changed. Something got quieter. Something stopped trusting you as much. Eventually you’ll get the version of them you created and wonder where the person who loved you so deeply went.
A breakup hurts, but nothing hurts like realizing you stayed through every red flag because you believed love meant patience. You kept understanding, forgiving, and fighting for them, only to wonder why you were giving everything to someone who wasn't even fighting to keep you.
hardest pill i had to swallow this year is learning how to pick myself back up & how to cope without the ppl who i thought would be in my life for a long time i had to realize that you have to do shit for yourself bc the only person that will put you back on your two feet is you
