You don’t live in my phone anymore, or in my plans, or even in my present.
You live in the small pauses between songs, in the way my heart softens when I think of the past. You exist now only as something remembered not painfully, but quietly, like an echo that still knows my name.
I’ve stopped asking why it ended. Some stories aren’t meant to be rewritten.
You were a moment, one that changed me, broke me, and rebuilt me in ways I didn’t understand until much later.
So this isn’t for you.
It’s for the memory of you, the version of us that still lives somewhere, untouched by endings.

Closing Thoughts
I used to think love was about holding on.
Now I know it’s about remembering gently, without anger, without expectation. You’re not a wound anymore. You’re a story I lived, and survived, and still carry with quiet gratitude.
Some people stay in our hearts not because they should have, but because they did.
And maybe that’s enough.
