All Unsent Messages

I looked at my phone instead of you, and I keep asking the moon for advice. I forgive you. I forgive me.

I count the steps to your door, and somehow the world keeps happening. We were real, even if we ended. I?ll keep making tea for one.

I?m sorry I laughed when you cried, and I tuck the ache into my sleeve. I?m letting this be my goodbye. I mean this kindly.

Thank you for the soft reminders, and it startles me that you won?t answer. I?m choosing to breathe without you.

I hope your plants keep thriving, and somehow the world keeps happening. This is for the version of us that almost was. That?s okay.

I keep your song on repeat, and I promise I am trying to be better. I?ll remember you on quiet Sundays.

This is the last time I write this, and I still don?t know who I am without you. I hope you keep the light you found.

I hope the future fits you, and I pretend the universe is listening. I?ll remember you on quiet Sundays. I won?t rewrite this again.

Thank you for the sunlit mornings, and I pretend the universe is listening. I?m choosing to breathe without you.

Thank you for the sunlit mornings, though the calendar insists we moved on. I hope you keep the light you found. I?ll keep making tea for one.
