I keep waiting for it to not hurt. I keep waiting to not have shooting pains of anxiety run through my chest when I’m reminded he’s no longer mine. I keep waiting to feel normal again. I’m afraid that might not come without a lot more hurt, from truly figuring out how to let him go and the future I see for us together. I keep waiting to feel like it won’t absolutely crush me to do that.
I’ve found that in my adult life a lot of decisions you think are about forgiveness, and they’re not. It’s always good to decide to forgive. Especially for you. The real decisions we make, the hard ones, is if you should try again.
He just feels like mine. Not in a possessive way just in a fitting way. Like that solid color puzzle piece you’ve had to the side waiting to see where it goes. And then finally you see it. Like oh, yes- of course. Of COURSE it goes there. How could it not? How could it ever go anywhere else?
Looking back it’s funny that we never took many photos together. A few goofy ones & ugly selfies. But never posed ones for social media. I guess it was because for the first time I didn’t feel the need to look good in a relationship. I knew we were good. No proof needed.
How can I not love you? Give me a **** reason. I sure as hell cannot. When I try they wash away with understanding. With empathy. With your perspective. I am the most victimless victim there is. I am in a cell pretending it is a rooftop.
I’ve been missing you - So much if physically hurts. I’ve been thinking of you - So much I’m sometimes convinced others can hear my thoughts. I’ve been loving you - And I can’t figure out how to stop.
