Saying goodbye doesn’t mean feelings go out the window.
Ending things doesn’t mean that emotions die and wither.
Closure just puts an imaginary smiley face on top of your heart.

Closure doesnt exist.
It never has and it never will.
Because closure means ending.
Closure means a closed door.
But that never happens.

Because there will always be questions.
There will always be whys.
There will always be what ifs and there will never be a true finale to your feelings.
It doesnt matter why it ended or why you two broke up.
It doesnt matter if it was a ten year relationship or a two month fling.
It doesnt matter if you met at a bar or met at a wedding.
It doesnt matter how big or small the love was.
The truth is, closure?
Closure is something that is too good to be true.
Its too much of a fairytale.
Its too much of a happily ever after.
Its never going to happen.
Because no matter what, love doesnt just end.
It doesnt end after a conversation or an hour lunch break or a nightly goodbye.
Love mattered and closure doesnt make it not matter.
Love doesnt end when you break up.
It doesnt stop your heart from feeling or caring or loving.
It doesnt matter what excuse they give you.
It doesnt matter what they say on the phone, saying its not you, its me.
It doesnt matter because it still hurts.
It still breaks you.
Closure is just another word for breakup, for goodbye and for see you never.
Maybe its a pessimistic view of closure.
Maybe Ive been broken one too many times.
Maybe Im just tired of getting stung.
Maybe Im just exhausted of the dating world.
Maybe closure really does help you feel better.
Maybe it brings you a sense of relief.
Maybe it really does exist for you.
But for me, closure is nothing but a curtain call that closes temporarily.
Hearts still hurt and ache and bleed.
Wounds are still deep.
Sometimes the damage will be too far gone and done.
And sometimes it will be irreversible.
Saying goodbye doesnt mean feelings go out the window.
Ending things doesnt mean that emotions die and wither.
Closure just puts an imaginary smiley face on top of your heart.
An imaginary coat of paint to mask the hurt.
But the hurt will always come back.
The loss will always come back.
That will always stay.
