Every time I see her I wish I could just hold her and shield her from everything. She left me for someone else and I wasn’t enough. Yet to me she’s still as beautiful as the day I first fell in love with her the way she used to ease my pain hold me close and make the world feel safe again. That kind of love that warmth… I know I’ll never feel it the same way again.
Seeing her every day is like a slow ache. Every time she laughs or smiles at someone else I’m reminded that it could’ve been me if only I had been enough. I carry this deep self-loathing this belief that if I were someone else someone better maybe I could’ve been loved the way I longed to be. But I’m not.
I want nothing but the best for her. I want her to live a full joyful life. But I’d give anything to be part of that life. The way my heart still reacts to her the butterflies the sound of her voice even the scent I associate with her it wrecks me. No one else has ever made me feel even a fraction of what she did.
I can’t picture a future where I’m truly happy without her. I’ve stopped caring about moving forward. It’s been two long years and she’s been on my mind every single day. I’ve imagined countless scenarios where we find our way back to each other maybe just to comfort myself maybe to pretend I was ever enough.
But that world doesn’t exist. I’ve fallen behind in life and now I sit front row watching her find happiness with someone else. And all I can feel is that I’ve failed that I’m truly deeply lost.

two years is such a long time to hold all that love in silence. do you ever get moments no matter how small where you feel okay without her? like even a few minutes of peace?
you’ve been carrying this pain alone for a long time. sometimes loving someone that deeply turns into loving the memory of them, not who they are now. maybe don’t rush to move on but try to slowly come back to yourself again. start there.
i went through something similar when my ex left for someone else too. that quiet ache of still loving them even after they’ve moved on it lingers way longer than anyone warns you. it’s like your body remembers them even when your mind tries to let go
hits so hard that I can see my self still not letting go even in ten years 😔
