everything people couldn't say out loud.

“i may not be texting you, but you're always on my mind. i may not greet you when i wake up... but you are the last person i think about when i go to sleep. i know where i stand... yet i will always care about you. just please take care and be happy, and don't forget that i love you.”

“i need you to do something for me... i need you to let me go. you have to. in another life, maybe there we loved each other right, and we were happy. we did all the things we said we would. but we got lost... you were my friend, and now a stranger... but you'll always be my favorite memory.”

“do you ever miss something that never happened? i miss the version of us that lived only in my head. the future we planned but never lived. the mornings we never woke up to... how do you grieve for something that was never real? it feels like mourning a ghost of a life that never existed, but somehow hurts as if it did.”

“if the love is real, i'll see you again. maybe not in weeks, months or even years... but at some point we'll meet. and next time, we will do it right. but for now, we're just two strangers carrying each other's secrets... i'll hold on to the moments we've shared, even if they remain just whispers in the wind. take care.”

“you told me once that nobody stays. i've spent two years trying to prove you wrong and you'll never even know.”

“i hope her new place doesn't get good light. that's it. that's the message.”

“i forgave you. not because you asked. because i got tired of carrying it.”

“you were my best friend before you were anything else. that's the part i actually miss.”

“i drove past your street yesterday. i didn't slow down. i'm calling that progress.”
