When you have loved and lost...

It hurts to say goodbye but you wouldn't trade the good times and lessons learned.

You'd rather they be happy than miserable with you.

You remember the love daily but embrace newness without them.

You find yourself looking for their face in a crowd knowing they are not there.

The things that made you both laugh makes you laugh alone and sometimes you hope that the same thing is making them laugh at the same time.

You look up at the moon and know that at some point in time the two of you will be looking up at the same time.

You will never be able to listen to certain songs the same again.

Ne-yo songs make you cry.

When you go to a new place, you automatically think "Man, they would have loved this."

You feel a tear form at the thought of how deep you loved them.

You wake up at random times and wonder what they are doing then upset yourself because whatever they may be doing, you know it's not with you.

You appreciate being happy and laughing knowing if you allow yourself the moment to remember, you will fall into those hurt feelings.


You find yourself reliving the exact moment you two became strangers

You see someone approaching you that you think is them and your breathing changes and you get closer hoping it's not them then get a little sad when the person passes you and you realize it's not them.

When you finally allow yourself to love again knowing it could end but you trust your own heart.

You continue to love.
