How do you unlove someone you still care for?

Author

You can’t really unlove someone.
You just learn to live without them. You learn to accept that they are no longer part of your life, even when a part of you still loves them.

You stop waiting.
You stop hoping.
You slowly learn to let go.

Because sometimes, moving on isn’t about forgetting someone.
It’s about learning to live without the person you once couldn’t imagine living without.

this hit me. i used to wait for the feelings to disappear before letting myself move on, but i learned i could miss someone and still choose not to go back.

do you think you're struggling more with letting go of the person, or letting go of the life you imagined with them?

i kept thinking i had to stop loving him before i could move forward, and honestly that took forever. eventually i just stopped building my days around someone who wasn't in them anymore.

I think only pure heart people can love someone else so deeply
