It is hard to reimagine a journey that you had already imagined with someone.

We cannot replace people as easily as we would like.

Every end damages a part of us that can never fully heal.

The winner is the one who initiates the breakup and the one who gets dumped is the loser.

I dont think thats ever been true, but I used to believe that.

If you see love as something where you win or lose, I dont think you know love is.

When a relationship ends, lives change.

Routines change and our patterns change.

The person who once used to be your everything is no longer around to listen to your stories.

It becomes impossible to listen to your song and not feel sad and angry.

You cannot forget all the little things and not think about each other.

When someone witnesses your vulnerability, the whole dynamic changes.

The beautiful images of your togetherness haunt you for months and years to come.

Life can be so unfair.

We can always justify when something didnt work, but it is impossible to rationalize why it couldnt have.

We move on, but the thought of us being replaced never sits well.

We never stop wondering what we could have done differently so hearts didnt break along the way.

Why do we miss someone for so long?

No one ever really wins or loses a breakup.

Honestly, both people lose each other.

Some lose a little more than the others, but there are never any winners in a breakup.

One will always move on before the other, and the world may see them as the winner.

But the truth is that there are no winners in a breakup.
