“I still love you.
Or really, I still think about you late at night when I’m lying in bed, wondering if I’ll ever be able to truly feel loved the same way again.
While the years have passed, I still check in on your social media to see if you’re alive because the last time we had a real conversation we were both going through it and I told you someday we would grow up and leave that town together and be happy.
We did leave. We left for opposite reasons, I went first and tried to stay close so I could try to remember you how we were but you... you left to forget about anything and everything that was created there and left me wondering when we would ever find each other again.
I still love you, even if I know you don’t check up on me the same way I do with you and maybe years down the road I’ll finally find the courage to tell you... I still love you.”
- to someone who tried to forget while I am still remembering
