I still feel love even though the world keeps turning strange, like something in my soul never learned how to go away. Maybe it’s because I met you in a moment that felt like a story God already wrote. I was lost before quiet, hiding, pretending, smiling while my heart was breaking in places no one could see. You called my name like it mattered, like I wasn’t just another person passing through. And suddenly, life didn’t feel so empty. I wanna say I’m healed, but truth is I’m still struggling inside, still learning how to breathe without holding everything tighter than it needs to be. Some nights, I lie awake, replaying yesterday, every word, every look, wondering if I got it wrong again. But then I hear your voice soft, steady, real reminding me I’m not alone here. And I remember: even broken things can be reborn. Even pain can fade. Even a heart like mine can be saved. So I wait not perfectly, not always well but with something like hope lingering near. Because love, real love, doesn’t leave. It stays...

I know we broke apart, and maybe we both had reasons, maybe we both carried wounds we didn’t know how to heal together. But the truth is I still want you. Not the memory of you. Not the old version of us. You. Now. Still. Because no matter how much time passes, nothing feels as real as what I felt with you. I miss the way your presence quieted everything in me. I miss your voice, your laugh, the small moments that never seemed important until they were gone. And maybe I should pretend I’ve moved on, pretend losing you made me stronger, pretend I no longer think about us at 3AM. But I can’t. Because deep down, I still believe we were meant for more than an ending. I believe we could fix this if we stopped fighting against the love that’s still here. I believe the distance between us doesn’t erase what we meant to each other. And I believe that if we tried again ... truly tried we could become something even better than what we were before. Not perfect. Just real. Patient. Honest. The kind of love that stays. So if there’s still a part of you that thinks about me too, a part that still wonders “what if,” then come back to me. Not to repeat the past, but to rebuild it with me properly this time. How it should have been done.

After the silence fell between us I didn’t leave all at once I stayed in the spaces you stopped filling, talking to the ghost of us like it might answer me differently this time. I wore my feelings like unfinished sentences, always almost saying what mattered most but swallowing it right before it became truth. There was still love in me not loud, not clean, but stubborn in the way it refused to die properly. It lingered in my timing, in the messages I never sent, in the way I reread what I should’ve said hours too late to change anything. I became a man of almosts. Almost texting. Almost letting go. Almost convincing myself that moving on meant forgetting. But I didn’t forget. I just learned how to carry you quietly in the back of my thoughts where no one could see how often you still crossed my mind like a light that never fully switched off. And even when pride tried to rebuild me, it built around the ache, not over it. So I stood there, not broken in the way people imagine, but reshaped by everything I felt and everything I never got to finish saying

She left like winter leaves the trees, quietly, without asking permission from the branches. And somehow everything after her felt colder. I still hear her in ordinary things in late-night rain against the window, in songs I pretend not to know, in the silence that settles after everyone else falls asleep. She was never loud love. She was dangerous love. The kind that slips beneath your skin and makes a home there. I remember the way she looked at me like she could see every ruined part and still stayed a little longer. That’s what hurts most. Not the ending. Not the distance. Not even the empty side of my bed. It’s knowing there was a moment in this world where her hands knew mine by memory, where her heartbeat calmed my storms, where “us” existed so naturally I thought it would outlive time itself. Now she feels like smoke still around me, but impossible to hold. And some nights I swear I’ve moved on, until I catch myself saving stories she would’ve loved, or reaching for my phone to tell her something meaningless. That’s the cruel part about losing someone you loved deeply. They leave… but pieces of them stay behind in everything.

She left...
You speak like fire trying to convince itself it was never meant to burn. But I still remember the way your soul reached for mine before fear taught your hands to let go. You say let it fade, walk away, never come back— but if you truly wanted silence, you would not write my name between every line. You can still have me. Not as a wound, not as a ghost you carry through empty nights, but as the hand you were searching for in the dark all along. I would still touch your scars like they were constellations, still trace the ache from your skin until the stone stopped burning. And if your heart still shakes when it thinks of mine, then maybe this is not over— maybe we are just two flames terrified of what survives after the fire. You say you want but cannot have me. The truth is... I never stopped being yours to reach for.

Never meant to end.
I keep forgetting you’re gone not in big ways, but in the smallest, cruelest moments. Like when something happens and my first thought is still, “I should tell her.” Your name still sits at the tip of my tongue, like a prayer that has nowhere to go. The world didn’t stop when you left. That’s the part that feels wrong. Cars still pass, people still laugh, the sun still rises like it doesn’t know it’s shining on a life that doesn’t have you in it anymore. I see pieces of you everywhere in songs I can’t listen to, in places I can’t go, in memories that don’t ask permission before they break me all over again. And God, I miss you in ways I don’t know how to explain not just your voice, or your touch, but the way I was when I was yours. Nights are the worst. That’s when it all gets louder the silence, the emptiness, the space you used to fill so easily. I lie there imagining that somehow you’ll come back, that this is all just some long, cruel pause but morning always comes and reminds me that you’re still gone. I would’ve stayed. Through everything, I would’ve stayed. And now all I have are these memories that feel more like ghosts haunting me with the life I almost had with you.
