Goodbye Still Hurts
Things really changed, I personally thought that moving on was going to be simple ( I was hoping it would be). But, turns out its actually harder than not saying 'Amen ' when the pastor say to you "God says 'it will be alright '"...
..
The lights went out last night, and it was raining hard with distant lightening and some not so fierce thunderstorm... And I never felt soo scared ( Am afraid of thunder, always have been no matter how 'not so fierce ') .
..
Yesternight was different though, I was able to have my eyes open the entire time. And thinking about you squeezing my arm and you saying ' it'll be fine ' was actually soothing. Made me forget that I need coffee in such moments...
.
And if am being totally honest am only okay when am thinking of you.
And if feels just right, most of the time: I think.
It gets my heart racing and my chest a bit hurt, but for all its worth, its totally worth it.
....
....
" I hope you are happy "... That's not really me, that's me just being modest cause in real sense I want to be the one making you happy...
..
I miss the crazy times you read me bedtimes stories like a kid and that gentle rubbing you did when we hugged...
.
I miss those days when we didn't have to talk but just hold on to each other. I miss having someone who understands me without even having to ask.
.
I miss the days when I could just be me, without having to pretend..... i miss having someone smile at me while am singing....
.
I miss the days when I had to be reminded that blue is my favorite color and that am a terrible cook... And having someone monitoring if am still hooked on coffee.
...
.... Its crazy how I still want you to call me ' mine '
I wish I could go back in time and not say good bye, because that good bye still hurts.
