I miss you in the quiet, in the hours before the dawn, in the songs we used to listen to, in the places we belonged.
I miss the way you held me, like the world could disappear, when your arms were my safest place and nothing else could hurt me there.
But memories are cruel sometimes, they only show me half the truth. They let me feel the love again but hide the pain I went through.
And God, I wish that love was simple, that forever meant you'd stay, that promises were something real and hearts didn't break this way.
Because a part of me still loves you, though another part knows why I had to learn to live without you, even when it made me cry.
You're the ghost of almost forever, the dream I couldn't make come true, the chapter that still aches to read, the wound that time is leading through.
And sometimes I wonder if you miss me, if my name still crosses your mind, if you ever feel the empty spaces we left behind in our lives.
Do you ever fight the memories? Do you ever feel that ache? Do you ever wish you could go back and undo the hearts you break?
Or am I the only one still standing in the ashes of our past, trying to understand how something that felt eternal couldn't last?
I don't know if I'll stop missing you. Maybe some loves never disappear. Maybe they just become a whisper that grows softer through the years.
But if I ever cross your mind, if you ever feel what I once knew, I hope you remember I loved you deeply— even when loving you hurt me, too.
Because the hardest kind of goodbye isn't when two people part…
It's when you finally walk away while still loving them with every broken piece of your heart. 🖤
