And then one day, one moment, it was all gone.
Its one thing letting go of what was.
Of letting stories become memories.
God & Man
And that alone is heartbreaking.
You wonder how life would go in the future if they were still with you.
You cant hold onto what might have been because it never was and it never will be.
And losing the chances of the future is heartbreaking.
Losing the chance of making new memories is terrifying.
One day you had a whole future planned out with someone.
You had a whole life to live together.
You had endless possibilities just waiting for you.
Thousands of perfect, deep conversations, and millions of beautiful little adventures.
You had the hope for many more perfect moments.
You had a shared future, open, like a blank white canvas, just ready to be painted.
And then one day, one moment, it was all gone.
And at that moment, you couldnt even begin to wrap your mind around the grief you were feeling.
And even now, you still cant fathom the loss you are feeling in your heart.
No matter how many times you replay the ending, nothing changes.
Your future together doesnt magically return.
Your person doesnt come back, no matter how many hours you spend hoping.
You cant fix it.
Life doesnt always go according to the plan.
So your only option is to just settle with what you had.
Eventually, youll have to make peace with knowing that your story together ended.
Youll have to let go of the what ifs of the future.
And its going to hurt a lot.
Its going to punch you over and over again.
Youre going to cry every single day.
Something that you will hold onto as you move forward on your own.
Something that will always be with you, even if the person is not.
And one day, itll get easier.
Maybe not next month.
You will finally understand that even though your heart is aching now, it wont ache forever.
Youll accept the possibility that despite the hurt, despite the pain, life can still be good.
