The pain of moving on still loving you will never leave
It’ll plaster itself onto the surface of my heart like your fingerprints that made it home
But I’ll take it one step at a time
Knowing that someday you won’t always be the one that got away
Because eventually, I’ll forget the details…
The way you smelled,
How your skin felt,
The sound of your voice
Will slip through the cracks of my mind
And fade into the background
Almost as if it took place in a different life…
A different person who was with you…
Who loved you…
And I’ll be okay.
