it doesn't hurt much anymore. i can now look back at the happy (or at least not chaotic) times we were together and not having to ask repeatedly, "why did it end this way?" i realized a while ago that i never asked him why he asked if he could keep that book i had with me the last time we saw each other 11 years ago. (i didn't knew then that it would be the last time.) we sort of reconnected a couple of years ago but started seeing each other again only last year. i learned then that he had lost that book. i lent him another book last year. it has one of my favorite stories. :)

do you feel like seeing him again brought you closure, or did it open something quietly again?
the thing we had 11 years ago was casual. seeing him again last year, yes, it opened something quietly again.
i like that you gave him another book. when i was there, i stopped trying to make meaning out of the past and just let the moment be what it was.
i had something like that too, years later we reconnected and it wasn’t about fixing anything, just seeing who we became. some pieces stayed gentle.
