You never really said goodbye, and I never did get closure.
When you left, I was a wreck.
I thought I was going to die from the pain.

You never really said goodbye, and I never did get closure.
I know you were never big on words, but this hurt me for a long time.
I finally understood what T.S.

Maybe that silence was intentional on your end.
I try not to think about the details anymore.
Thats all I have now, all I have left of you.
There is a Japanese concept called kintsugi that spoke to me recently.
When cherished porcelain wares break, they mend the cracks with gold lacquer.
Rather than trying to hide the breaks, they accentuate them with precious metals.
It makes the whole stronger and turns the broken pieces into art.
I fight harder for love now.
Im more willing to take the risk.
Because I know how crushing it is to wonder,What if?
What if things could have been different between us?
What if you knew how much I loved you?
Would it have changed anything?
Would it have mattered?
The truth is, Ill never know, and I have to live with that.
I was never big on love letterswords of affirmation were never my strength.
But once upon a time, you made me feel things I didnt know it was possible to feel.
But that time is in the past now.
The relentless hand of time ticks on.
Sometimes, its better to let go.
Consider this my parting farewell, my friend.
