Seeing him again on valentine’s day: why it hurts so much

Author

I met him again on Valentine but we didn’t talk then I met him the next day, we did not talk and acted liked stranger but i didn’t like that so i wave at him to say hi. But god it hurts, like u act to be okay but deep down it’s not and hope he’ll be okay

when you waved at him, was it more for closure or because you didn’t want to feel like strangers?

those random run-ins reopen stuff i thought i handled. even if we don’t talk. sometimes i had to admit to myself “yeah, this still affects me” instead of pretending i’m chill. you don’t have to be fully okay yet. seeing someone you loved isn’t small.

i ran into my ex a few weeks after we ended and we both did that whole “pretend we’re strangers” thing. i smiled, waved, acted normal. then went home and cried in my car it’s wild how you can look calm on the outside but inside you’re breaking. that fake-okay feeling hurts more than i expected.
