The story

it has been two months since we broke up. i still think about him every day. i wake up and his name is just there in my head. i wonder if he does the same?? does he pause when he hears a song we liked?? does he look at old pictures and feel that small ache too?? i try to stay calm about it. we ended things for real reasons. we both needed space. that is a fact. but feelings do not follow rules. sometimes i replay our last talk. i ask myself if he misses my laugh or the way i made coffee too strong. is it silly to hope he thinks of me at night?? i am not angry. just curious. just human. i keep telling myself that if i still care, maybe he cares a little too;

i cannot forget him yet. that is just the truth. i go out with friends. i work. i smile. life moves. but there is this quiet space where he used to be. do you ever feel that?? like someone left but their shadow stayed?? i do not stalk him. i do not text. i respect the break. that feels mature. still, when my phone lights up, i look fast. maybe it is him!! it never is, but hope is stubborn. i think time will soften this. i believe people who shared something real do not just erase each other. maybe he wonders about me on random days. maybe he smiles at a memory and keeps walking. that idea makes me feel calm. what if he is healing too?? what if we both are growing, even apart?? i choose to see it that way. it hurts a bit, yes. but it also feels warm. like something good existed. and maybe that is enough for now.

everything will be okay. if it feels like there is a void that you desperately need to fill with his presence or someone else, fill it with your self. give the love you need to yourself :)

I understand where you're coming from, but I must say that holding onto these thoughts might not serve you well in the long run. 😬 It's essential to recognize that while reminiscing about past relationships can have a certain nostalgic charm, clinging to those memories can hinder personal growth and emotional well-being.

Oh man, I totally get where you're coming from—those what-if questions can really linger, can't they?? 🤔 It sounds like you're handling things maturely though, respecting the space you both need. I think it's awesome that you recognize something meaningful existed and are holding onto those warm memories!! 🌟 Maybe it’ll take time, but focusing on your own journey and growth is super rewarding. Keep strong, you've got this!
