It feels like delayed grief, these tears that beg to fall now. They blocked you, cut you off from knowing their lives. But if we’re being honest— you erased them first. So don’t suffer for this. You were never that important to them. If you had been, things would never have ended this way. They don’t belong to you anymore. You live another life now. They’re still stuck with the same problems, the same conversations, the same songs. And you— you are more awake, more lucid, more whole than before. So let the ache in your chest, the sting in your eyes, the lump in your throat— come and go. You are not there anymore. You are here. You are the sky, not the clouds.

You Are the Sky
It feels like delayed grief, these tears that beg to fall now. They blocked you, cut you off from knowing their lives. But if we’re being honest— you erased them first. So don’t suffer for this. You were never that important to them. If you had been, things would never have ended this way. They don’t belong to you anymore. You live another life now. They’re still stuck with the same problems, the same conversations, the same songs. And you— you are more awake, more lucid, more whole than before. So let the ache in your chest, the sting in your eyes, the lump in your throat— come and go. You are not there anymore. You are here. You are the sky, not the clouds.
