Thank you for the sunlit mornings, and it startles me that you won?t answer. I?ll carry the lesson, not the weight.

I hope your friends hold you close, and I pretend the universe is listening. I hope you keep the light you found. I?m keeping the promise this time.

I play the song we pretended was ours, and I collect myself in small pieces. This is for the version of us that almost was. I?m learning to be gentle.

I threw jokes at your pain, and I wish I had the courage to press send. If this reaches you, know I tried. I mean this kindly.

Thank you for loving me clumsily, and I still don?t know who I am without you. I hope you keep the light you found. I?m learning to be gentle.

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

I hope love finds you gently, and I am learning to carry this gently. I?m letting this be my goodbye. I?ll keep making tea for one.

I memorize the routes to you, and I keep looking for you in crowds. This is for the version of us that almost was. I mean this kindly.

I?m sorry I laughed when you cried, and I collect myself in small pieces. Wherever you are, be gentle with yourself.

I keep our inside jokes alive, and I tuck the ache into my sleeve. I will keep the soft parts of us. I mean this kindly.
