It’s easy to romanticize a relationship that didn’t work out.

To tell yourself you were star-crossed lovers. People who will meet each other again in another lifetime. Individuals who met at the wrong time.

It’s harder to tell yourself the truth: that you were nothing more than two people who were not made for each other. To let go.
