Sit With Me Awhile

There are so many things I could say to you.

So many moments we lived through together.

So many memories that will always exist in the part of my life that belonged to us.

For years you were not just someone I loved.

You were the person I built a life with.

We shared routines, responsibilities, laughter, struggles, and the quiet ordinary moments that only two people inside a relationship truly understand.

When everything ended, it felt like the ground beneath my feet disappeared.

Not just because I lost you.

But because I lost the life we had built together.

There were nights where the weight of it all felt impossible to carry.

Moments where I wished I could rewind time and choose differently.

Moments where I wondered if things could have been saved if either of us had understood what was happening sooner.

But time moves forward whether we are ready or not.

And somewhere along this path of healing, I’ve come to understand something important.

Loving someone does not mean they are meant to stay in your life forever.

Sometimes love exists for a season.

Sometimes it teaches us lessons we were never prepared to learn.

And sometimes it changes us in ways we don’t fully understand until much later.

You were a huge chapter of my life.

That will never change.

You helped shape the woman I became during those years.

And even though the way our story ended was painful, I can still acknowledge that what we shared was real.

I hope you find peace in the life you are building now.

And I hope the choices we both made eventually lead us to the growth we were meant to experience.

As for me, I am still learning.

Still healing.

Still discovering the version of myself that exists beyond the life we once had.

There will probably always be a part of my heart that remembers you.

But that part of my life is no longer the one I am living.

And sometimes the most honest thing we can do for someone we once loved…

is to let them go.
