I came across a picture of you the other day, and it made my heart skip a beat.
It’d been some time since I thought of you and what we had, and I felt a strange mixture of sadness and happiness.
It seems like just yesterday that you were the most important thing in my life, the first person I told everything to and my safe place every day.
I don’t really remember why we didn’t work out, and it’s been so long, it doesn’t really matter, anyways.
It was a love story that I thought would never end- passionate nights and loving embraces that made me feel like I was floating on air.
For a time, it was beautiful, it was love and it was magical..
I fought so hard to move on, burying the memories and trying to forget..though it took me some time and healing to be okay with that..
I don’t even know that I ever fully worked through the pain of our split.
Until I saw your picture, I thought I had finally gotten past everything, but I learned something as the emotions washed over me.
Maybe we can forget, try to not think about or bury the memories of someone gone, something painful.. but the heart will never truly forget.
So, as a random thought flashes through my mind, I wonder what you’re doing. I debate reaching out to you..but I know that’s not what’s best.
Looking back will never help build a better future for myself, so I’m just going to look ahead.
Seeing you was a myriad of emotions, but most of all, it reminded me of how hard I’ve worked to become a stronger, wiser and happier person..
And nothing is worth sacrificing that, especially not the past.
I’ll never be able to grab onto new hope and possibilities if I’m holding onto the pain of what’s gone.
You’ll always hold a special place in my heart, but not in my life.
I’m saying hello to my future and I delete your picture, I’m saying goodbye..finally.
It’s a hard thing, moving on, but it’s necessary for my growth and happiness.
Turning the page to a new chapter is always sad when people aren’t part of it..
But this time, I’m being true to myself and just being happy.
That, for me, is all I could ask for.
I’m finally writing the story of my life the way I always should have..
For myself, my dreams and most of all, just loving who I am,
Best happily ever after that I could have imagined.
