I remember the day you left me as vividly as yesterday and how I tried to memorize every detail of your face when we said goodbye, as if I would never see it again, because I wasn’t sure if I would be able to live not being able to remember the person I called my home
I used to think of you as my oxygen, as tightly-sewn thread, holding me together, as a half-finished love story, you were always something that I swore I couldn’t live without, you were always the reason I woke up every morning feeling brand new, and I wasn’t even sure life would be worth living without you
but the clock kept on ticking without you by my side, and I’m learning to let go, you beautiful creature, I am still learning, but one day I will understand and although my heart still stings when I read your letters, and even though I feel a pang of emptiness when the air gets cold and I remember everything about you,
I am learning how to forget you, we will always be words left unsaid but maybe things are better this way (I will live without you)
