Here we go..
This is me moving on. This is me
accepting the ache of missing you. This is me waking up every single day and
tackling the street corners we walked upon, the corner coffee shops we ate at,
the sheets we wrapped ourselves in at night. This is me waking up every single
day, aware of what is missing, but accepting of the fact that this is my life
now, that this is the way things are going to be. This is me understanding that
it is okay to have my heartbeat speak your name. This is me understanding that
it is okay to miss someone who was once such a staple in my life. But this is
also me understanding that life does go on. That one day I will hear the songs
and smile, I will sleep in the sheets and they will no longer smell like you;
one day I will fall in love again, one day I will look back on this and my
hands will not shake with the heaviness of it all.
This is me moving on. This is me accepting the fact that we will no longer make
memories together. This is me coming to terms with the reality of a future without
you. This is me understanding that you will do everything we had ever spoken
about — you will live a life you are proud of, you will become the person you
told me you hoped you could be, you will take the trips, you will experience
all of the things you wanted to experience, you will love — deeply, and wholly
and with every inch of your patchwork heart, but all of that will happen
without me by your side.
This is me moving on. This is me accepting that you will, as well. This is me
coming to terms with the fact that someone else is going to fall in love with
your light, that someone else is going to be your biggest fan. This is me
hoping that you will find the love you deserve. This me me hoping that you will
find someone who inspires you and moves you and appreciates every stunning
thing you are. This is me hoping that you find someone who stirs the deepest
parts of your being, someone who is both your safe place and your biggest
adventure. This is me hoping that you are happy, truly happy, one day.
This is me moving on. This is me accepting that sometimes beautiful things end.
This is me understanding that there is nothing I can say, or do, to fix that.
This is me coming to terms with the fact that sometimes leaving is an act of
love, too. That sometimes you have to walk away from something soft and
hauntingly real, that sometimes hearts don’t align. But this is me accepting
that endings don’t have to be messy. This is me understanding how incredible it
really is — that for a moment in time, in a world of billions, two strangers
were in the right place, at the right time, and something transpired between
them. This is my heart swelling with the thought — that at one point in time,
we were the lucky ones. At one point in time, we beat the odds.
