I believe the correct sequence was looking up from a plate full of food, the world stopping for a microsecond as recognition is evident on my face then going right back to eating as if nothing has happened.
It has taken me almost three years to confirm it. Sure he was still the same, only a bit rounder on the edges but the spunk was still there. That contagious smile that I can’t help but grin back. There was no more longing. The hurt was gone. I can’t even remember what it was like holding his hand.
Nothing lasts forever, even my love for him when I was so sure that I will always hold him in my heart but I was wrong. This time is different. This time it’s all over…
But endings make way for new beginnings right? So here I am, stuck in this phase again but with a heavier heart yet the challenge remains the same. How do I forget someone who I have given my whole heart to? How do I not remember everything we’ve been through? How do I let this feeling go?
In three years, will I be able to say that I have forgotten him? I hope so. I hope that time will prove me wrong again. Because this time I have loved like I have never loved anybody before.
