I realized that my moment of arrogance set us apart, a moment born from anger, sadness, regret, fury, and longing. I've never encountered ten ways to forget a passion simply by being reminded that I gave someone a sock.

It's rare for someone to realize how interconnected the future and present can be through memories triggered by seemingly insignificant actions, leaving you emotionless, yet free from regret.

That phone was filled with you, but who is 'you'? 'You' is 'me,' the me who is gone, who regrets, and who smiled inwardly as I finally said goodbye.

I met you when I was broken, driven by passion, and seeking sex and lust, solely driven by outward beauty. I didn't care about your mind or who you were until I realized that you were literally everything I aspired to be. While 'figuratively' may seem more fitting at times, 'literally' was the undeniable truth. I envy you.
