i can handle remembering the date of his birthday. i can handle the major memories. what sets me back are the snippets of the life i had with him. like the way he was always beside me, like the way he refused to leave my side when i was hurt, like the way he wanted to see what i just wrote down, like the way he nonchalantly blows butterflies to my stomach. those memories always break my heart. they come when i have a good day. they come when i do something or hear something or see something and when i remember, i can't stop remembering everything else that happened between us. that what sets me back from moving on.

the little memories
i can handle remembering the date of his birthday. i can handle the major memories. what sets me back are the snippets of the life i had with him. like the way he was always beside me, like the way he refused to leave my side when i was hurt, like the way he wanted to see what i just wrote down, like the way he nonchalantly blows butterflies to my stomach. those memories always break my heart. they come when i have a good day. they come when i do something or hear something or see something and when i remember, i can't stop remembering everything else that happened between us. that what sets me back from moving on.
