Moving on is hard: learning to unlove you

I think one of the hardest things is trying to unlove someone you still understand.

Even after everything, I still catch myself looking for you sometimes. In random moments, in songs, in little things throughout my day, and I hate how natural it still feels to miss you.

There were moments I wanted to force myself to move on already, to stop caring so much because maybe it would hurt less that way. But feelings don’t really work like that, you can’t just switch them off because things became complicated.

I know things between us became messy. Confusing, painful even. But despite all that, I never saw you as a bad person. I just saw someone struggling with their own mind while I was struggling with losing someone I loved.

So maybe for now, I’ll just let myself yearn.

I’ll let myself miss you until I don’t anymore.
Not because I’m holding on too tightly, but because what I felt was real to me. And I don’t want to treat it like it meant nothing just because it ended differently than I hoped.

Maybe one day it won’t ache this much anymore. Maybe one day your name won’t feel so heavy in my chest.

But until then, let me yearn until I unlove you.
