This is me letting you go, and I still don?t know who I am without you. I hope you?re loved where you are. You don?t have to answer.

Thank you for the gentle endings, and I pretend the universe is listening. This is for the version of us that almost was.

I learned your needs too late, and I promise I am trying to be better. I?m letting this be my goodbye.

I save jokes I can\\\’t send you, and I wonder if you kept anything of us. I?m learning to miss you with kindness. I won?t rewrite this again.

Thank you for choosing me once, and I tuck the ache into my sleeve. I?ll carry the lesson, not the weight. That?s okay.

I should have told you on that bridge, and I am learning to carry this gently. I hope you?re loved where you are.

I collect reasons to text you, and I leave the porch light on anyway. If this reaches you, know I tried.

I hope you forgive yourself too, and I keep looking for you in crowds. I?m letting this be my goodbye.

I walk the pier at the same hour, even when the room is full of people. I?m learning to miss you with kindness.

I keep your song on repeat, and I pretend the universe is listening. I?ll keep the window cracked for luck. I?ll keep making tea for one.
