Still holding memories of us… while you’re out there learning new names, new smiles, new nights that don’t include me. And I’m here—quietly stuck in yesterday, like my heart didn’t get the message that I was already replaced in your story. Funny thing is, you moved forward like it was nothing, and I’m still walking through moments that don’t even exist anymore. I act like I’m okay, I joke, I laugh… 😂 but deep down I’m just that same person who loved you a little too honestly, a little too completely, like love was supposed to mean staying. And maybe that’s where I went wrong— I thought “us” was something we were building, but for you it was just a chapter… and for me it became the whole book. Now I sit with all these memories like they’re still alive, still real, still waiting, while you’re out there creating new ones that don’t even know my name. And I won’t lie— it hurts in a quiet way. Not dramatic… just empty. The kind of empty that laughs sometimes so no one notices it’s actually breaking. But it’s fine, right? That’s what I tell myself. Because loving you fully was never the mistake— it was just choosing someone who didn’t stay long enough to understand it.
