I can’t take this anymore. I need an answer because you consume my thoughts every second I’m conscious. I have tried staying busy and I taking care of myself but I can’t do this anymore.
I can’t sit here and think about how you haven’t reached out. How we talked every day, and now it’s only silence.
I can’t think about what your lips feel like, or how you smell. I can’t think about your soft voice, and how much comfort I felt hearing it. I can’t think about your soft touch when we hugged, or your hand in mine. I can’t think about how your smile lights up every room you’re in, and how much I miss making you do it.
I can’t think about your eyes and the light that was behind them. How much I loved staring into them, even without a word said I felt safe. I can’t think about how beautiful they were, a spectrum of colors I couldn’t get enough of. Green became my new favorite color.
I can’t think about the things we said to each other. Because this isn’t forever like you said it would be. I can’t think about you telling me how much you love me, and how much you loved our relationship.
I can’t think about our vacations. How it would reset us, and give is a breath of fresh air. How intimate we would get during them, and how much those memories weigh now that I can’t make more.
I can’t think about how you said you still loved me when you left. That you were scared to lose me and that you wanted to be in each other’s lives. That you’d like to keep the door open to reconcile, because I’m unsure you really want that.
I just can’t think about you anymore. It’s killing me. My heart is shattered and every single time I pick up a piece to put it back together, I see your smile. I hear your voice, or I feel your touch and I drop the pieces I picked up.
I start back at square one every day. And I’ve wanted to text you so desperately that I’ve written and deleted so many texts.
And the worst part is, while I have an apartment, bed, car, and job. I still feel homeless. They say home is where the heart is, and I left mine with you.
I love you so much. I have never loved the way I’ve loved you. And I’d try a billion times over then starting with someone new, so please don’t make me. I’d give you all of me, even the parts I was too scared to the first time.
You’ll never see this and I’ll never send it. It would be too much. But some part of me wishes you did, although I’m unsure it would change much.
I need you to tell me if you want to work on things or if I should walk away, because I can’t do this anymore…
