I keep replaying our last walk, and I still don?t know who I am without you. I forgive you. I forgive me. I?m keeping the promise this time.

i know u might not be gone forever but i think this is where our stories should end.I love my handsome boy.

I hum your tune in empty rooms, and I keep rewriting the past in kinder ink. This is for the version of us that almost was. This is enough.

I learn your absence like a map, and I am learning to carry this gently. I?ll remember you on quiet Sundays. That?s okay.

I learned your needs too late, and my chest answers with thunder. I?m learning to miss you with kindness. I?m keeping the promise this time.

I am returning the keys to my heart, because I?m afraid of what you?ll say back. I?m choosing to breathe without you. I?m learning to be gentle.

I hope your heart takes up space, and I am learning to carry this gently. If this reaches you, know I tried.

I count the days since you left, and I promise I am trying to be better. I?m letting this be my goodbye. I mean this kindly.

I can map the city by our memories, though the calendar insists we moved on. This is for the version of us that almost was. I mean this kindly.

I pass our corner and nod, and I pretend the universe is listening. I?ll remember you on quiet Sundays.
