I wish I learned your language sooner, and it feels like weather inside me. I hope you?re loved where you are.

I should have told you on that bridge, and I keep rewriting the past in kinder ink. I hope you?re loved where you are. I?m keeping the promise this time.

I collect reasons to text you, and I collect myself in small pieces. Wherever you are, be gentle with yourself. I won?t rewrite this again.

I reread the last thing you said, and I collect myself in small pieces. I?m letting this be my goodbye.

Thank you for showing me how to stay, and I keep looking for you in crowds. This is for the version of us that almost was. This is enough.

I kept one foot out the door, and it feels like weather inside me. I?m letting this be my goodbye. I?m keeping the promise this time.

This is the last time I write this, and I collect myself in small pieces. We were real, even if we ended.

If you decide to choose me one day, I’ll be here waiting for you. I will always Love you, and my heart will always be open to you. I will wait lifetimes for you. I am so sorry for everything.

I can draw your handwriting from memory, and I wonder if you kept anything of us. If you ever need me, I?ll understand if you don?t call. You don?t have to answer.

I sit where we used to sit, and I keep rewriting the past in kinder ink. I?ll walk forward, softer than before. I?m keeping the promise this time.
