I met you in my dreams last night. I looked at you from a distance, and you smiled right back at me. Something about you felt like home. You whispered to me “where have you been?”, to which I replied “I’m sorry I was late, late for the love of my life. I was lost but now I’m found. You’re the only one who has ever been able to find me.” So when you realise we’re meant to be, run back into my arms; I’ll greet you with the warmest smile and the tightest embrace saying “Hi, for half my life, I’ve been waiting for you.”
There were so many times where I said “goodbye” only to hear you say “please don’t go”, but all you did was turn your back and walk away. I miss how you used to look at me, and how were inseparable. I’ve never met someone who has looked at me with such love and intensity. I’ll always rewatch the videos of our happy times together and look at the pictures we took and think about how much fun we used to have. I miss you so much and the worst part is having to pretend like we never met. It’s painful waking up without you by my side; having only to pick up one glass instead of two in the morning. Why do people compare being in love to a rollercoaster ride when the downhill part is always the most fun?
Have you ever loved a moment so much that you miss it before it even ends? I still remember the last time we met. Deep down, I knew we would never meet again. I held your tiny hands in mine and I whispered in your ear “please don’t forget me, I love you more than anything in this world”. I wanted time to stop at this very moment. Until the day arrives where you don’t fit in my arms, I only hope you’ll move on knowing that you are so loved by me.
You once asked me “what does love look like?”, to which I replied, “like having everything I’ve ever loved and lost come back to me”. It’s been three hundred and sixty-five breathtaking sunsets, calming sunrises and captivating night skies without you, and I long to be by your side.
“I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you” - Kiersten White, The chaos of stars
I’ll always thank you for being my favourite chapter in my book, even though all I have left are our memories that I’ll never forget. It’s time to close this chapter and move on. Maybe one day when we are older and more mature, we can revisit this chapter again.
It’s okay if you choose to forget me and everything we had, but please remember three things:
I’m here
I miss you
I love you more than anything
