We manage to convince ourselves that they still care.

We manage to convince ourselves that we were the ones in the wrong.

We are the ones who need to apologize.

We could finally be at peace with the pain swirling inside of our chest.

But the problem is that you dont actually want any closure.

You want to know what their life looks like now.

You want to know if they are happy or in love.

You want to reach out because you want to rekindle the spark you swore that you had.

You want them to feel regret.

You want them to jump back into your arms and say, Im sorry.

You want the relationship you were never able to actually have.

You just want to fall in love again.

If you truly loved someone, your memories with them are going to last a lifetime.

Breakups dont work that way.

They seem to simultaneously make us into the best and the worst versions of ourselves.

You cant just run in and out of someones life and expect to leave it unscathed.

Sometimes these changes leave us with so many unanswered questions.

you gotta ask yourself, Would you really want the truth if they were willing to tell you?

Or is what you really want a fairy-tale ending?

The truth is that you will probably never get that fairy-tale ending with them.

However, this closure might not give you the life that you are dreaming of.

If you just want to talk to them, pause and ask yourself, Why?

Where is this desire to bring someone back into your life coming from?

Are you really missing them or is it just having someone that you miss?

But other times, we lose people because weneedto.

Talking to your ex wont magically improve any of the difficult situations you might be facing in your life.
