You are free to grieve for the loss of love. You are free to express how you feel but you don't have to pass the burden to the other person. You are free to grieve, alone.

Don't give false hopes. Don't try to ruin the beautiful ending just because you are having a hard time moving on. Do not ever hold that person responsible for your weakness. It is your sole obligation to detach yourself from all the "used to" em0tions. You must heal yourself. Stop catching fires. Stop igniting flames. Stop hurting others. You are strong.

It may be difficult at first but it'll be okay soon. There's always a better way out. You just have to gather that courage and continue moving forward. Let that person go. Let yourself go, too. You both deserve the best, in different worlds. You have your own stories to create. You have a huge life ahead of you. Just be tough. You're doing it right.

I know you struggle to catch your breath in between sobs, and that my darling, is just alright. I know you're constantly having heart attacks. I know you break down more than enough in every dull moment of your life. I know sadness keeps you awake but it'll all pass. You'll be fine. Just like the finest wine, age will make you wiser. It'll make you more beautiful than ever. You still have so much to learn. Just keep moving. Just keep moving, darling.
