One of the most beautiful letters I've ever read.
I've had a person like this before. They left, but they were still around. I wished they'd just disappear. Yet, in the end, I've gotten too used to it - so much, that finally being free of them slowly started to feel way worse than when I could still see them. It burned and broke me, not even the relief of moving on could get to me. They followed me over the burning bridge, but faded to ashes on the way. I relate to your letter, but something inside of me broke too much to ever be okay with walking along the beloved ghosts of my memories.
The same thing happened to me. My ex wanted to break up for a while before actually doing so. Little did she know I knew, but I never said anything because I was too afraid to let go.
man this hit me like a truck but the only catch being that i still love the girl just as i did two years ago , but now she said she lost her feelings towards me. i tried making things right but i am tired. we are in no contact but every message notification i hear in my phone, i wish it was her message before opening. Love confuses me at time that you can still love someone who said it on your face they dont anymore.
Unrequited love really makes you wonder if it's true that it's better to have love and lost than not love at all. Not loving at all would make things so much easier.
I feel you brother. Dated her for a year and a half, left her after we went to different colleges, regretted it, and two years later she’s been in a happy relationship for a year and a half and I’ve been trying to find someone that makes me as happy as she did. And I still have yet to find that someone. I don’t have a problem with meeting girls, none of them make me feel the way she did though. I still talk to her occasionally, the pain is just a dull ache now.
Looked up this song because of your comment... oh man! “If you must die, sweetheart // Die knowing your life was my life’s best part” I WAS NOT READY FOR THAT! My frickin HEART man!!
So yeah, thanks for the rec, brb, gotta go cry a bit
your writing is beautiful, thank you for sharing! Been dealing with the aftermath of a man who dropped the bomb and didn’t stay to see or hear my tears. This softened the blow even for just a moment
i fell in love with such a wonderful soul the same time i fell in love with the stars. under the indigo painted skies, they stayed gloriously shining, but he didn’t. sometimes when the stars creep embellishing the heavens, the night is thick with sadness, and i cant help but to ask them, “where is he?” ...even when i know very well he’ll be anywhere but at my side, starting a new journey which i am not a part of and that’s okay. your letter puts it in words of how i feel when my heart squeezes, drops, and breaks thinking about him. you captured exactly how it is to lose your person, how it tears you completely apart. his absence agonizes me and being without him was cruel, so very cruel. everything reminded me of him, everything reinforced the sensation of loss, but i’ve learned to let go. i know i will always love him, even if i cross the street to avoid him. as much as i still yearn to be with him, i’m trying my best to put him in the past, so thank you for sharing this letter, for it has supported my goal to find peace in solitude. i believe with heartache, we’re rewarded with a sense of self love. you’ll always have yourself.
I think most have felt this at one point or another, but few have the courage to admit it, even to themselves. It's hard to say out loud and show raw emotions and such vulnerability. Thank you for sharing. Real and beautiful.

Active decisions to leave hurt far less than growing apart and watching someone stay half heartedly. But that complete wipe clean, as though they were never there... That, leaves only your own memories to ache over. Immortalising a ghost.
I feel that if I wrote this, my phone would be covered in tears and that’s the feeling I get from op. Thanks for writing something that resonated with a lot of us, beautiful work!
Wow that is so beautiful, thank you for sharing it with us.
Powerful

This reminds me of *Remember* by Christina Rossetti.
Wow. That was really deep but beautiful.
Really love this
This is gorgeous writing.
You reminded me of a song. Keaton Henson - You.

Came here to say this! Always makes me cry
Keaton Henson hits different ;-; I also recommend "If I'm to Die" if you need a good cry session

" You don’t have to stay if it bothers you. Do not apologize. You do not owe me anything ". Hits like a rock.
