A person who had been long gone since the minute they entered my conscience.
A man who was never really mine at all.
But Im starting to realize that this is okay.

Its what you do after the fall that makes all the difference in how you rise.
Im not talking about the initial healing.
Because you better grieve and look back, and this takes time.
This is also not to say what you felt wasnt real because it was and always will be.
Its saying youre ready to be just friends when its only been four days.
Its getting drunk and making out with someone new while the entire time you were wishing it was them.
Its hoping theyll change their mind when its clearly already made up.
So, yo, stop holding onto someone who is already gone.
Stop reaching out for hands that will only hold yours in the middle of the night.
Stop looking for the next chapter when the book is long closed.
And stop hoping for love to grow in places it never stood a chance.
Promise is all around you; just not with them.
