This Is Me Letting It Go

Oct 25, 2018 by apost team

Consider this as me moving on. I've accepted that I miss you, but I have to keep going. This is me, every day, waking up, having to walk the same streets that we used to walk, pass the same shops where we ate, and sleep in the same sheets that we covered ourselves in every night.

This is me, getting up every day, knowing something is missing, yet accepting my life is now without you, This is me telling myself that it's alright that I can't stop thinking about you. This is me realizing it's okay to miss you.

Even still, this is me understanding the fact that life goes on. I know there will come a day that I hear our songs and smile. I will be able to sleep in the same sheets that we once did, knowing they no longer bare your smell. I'll fall in love with someone new one day and I'll look back to this day and I will no longer be burdened with these heavy memories.

I'm choosing to move on. I'm accepting the reality that you and I have made our final memories. I've come to accept that my future is one that is without you. This is me knowing that you will keep living the life you've always wanted, the life that you and I talked about.

You're going to be the person you knew you could be; you'll go on to take the trips you always wanted to experience and do the things you've always wanted to.

While at one time, I wished it would be me, I know you will find the person that completes you. You're going to love again--truly, deeply, and completely. I know that though you'll love again, it will be without me there.

This is me getting over you. I'm accepting that you'll do the same. I know that there is another in this world that will become the light of your life. That person will be your biggest fan. I truly and honestly hope that you find the person that will appreciate everything about you and will love every part of your being.

This person will be your greatest adventure and the person that you feel the safest with. I wish you every happiness, knowing that you will find this love one day.

I'm moving on. This is me deciding that in life, sometimes things come to an end. There's nothing to say to fix or change that fact. I've come to accept that leaving a love as strong as ours can be a form of love, too. While what we had was real and raw, sometimes two people just can't align their souls.

This is how I accept that things can end well, even if I don't want them to. What we had was genuine and it was incredible. In a world where so many people often take the rest of the world for granted, two souls like ours could enjoy each other, even if it wasn't forever.

We made it work, at one point. In a world that is so full of disconnected and broken people, the two of us were able to make each other happy, even if it couldn't last. This me accepting the bittersweetness of it all: knowing what we had, accepting what we didn't, and wishing you well in the future.
