I talked about you today, and I felt tears gather in my eyes. I tried to hold them back, and in that quiet moment, something settled in my heart. Some emotions don’t disappear easily. The memories, the love, the promises we once made they still exist, even if they’re softer now.
Sometimes my heart still flutters at the thought of you, and without realizing it, I still call you my guy when you come up in conversation. Maybe it won’t fade all at once. Maybe healing isn’t about erasing, but about learning to carry things more gently.
With time, my mind may learn to let go but my heart is still learning. And that’s okay.
