This is me not having an option but to set you free.

The art of letting you go has no expiration.

Getting over you is a laborious and sometimes painful process.

It is slow and requires a lot of patience.

Theres no guarantee that putting myself in a different place will make moving on smoother or more convenient.

Letting you go ultimately depends on me.

My heart is the only thing that can speak out for the truth.

We will never get to see each other excitedly and Ill never get to hug you one more time.

Ill never witness the light in your eyes every time I approach you.

Ill never hear the sound of your voice that I desperately crave once in a while.

I am accepting that youre happy in your life right now.

Theres no more comfortable silence as we sit side by side while we watch people walk across the street.

There are no more lazy weekend afternoons doing random activities that we can think of.

This is me accepting that we wont have another shot in love.

This brokenness isnt the one thats going to end my world.

Losing you is a sign that my life is about to turn to a different direction.

This heartache is only temporary and wont come along with me as I move towards a brighter tomorrow.

In time, I will learn how to fully enjoy life even without you.

I will be able to laugh like nothing is holding me back.

I will look at myself in the mirror and smile because my heart doesnt feel heavy anymore.

And I will wake up in the morning not searching for your face.

One day, I will finally understand why youre not the person whom I ended up with.

I will accept the truth that youre only meant to appear in one chapter of my story.

One day I will wake up and not think of you anymore.
