People come and go.
But some souls leave footprints so deep
that even their absence feels like a presence.
Some come into our lives to teach us lessons.
Some to guide us through the darkness,
and some, perhaps without meaning to,
break pieces of our hearts we never knew could break.
But you’re not here.
But I know this is temporary.
has hurt me more than any wound.
It is a silent pain.
The kind that never bleeds,
but aches with each thought of you.
I think of all our fights.
the laughter that followed them,
the words of encouragement,
the moments when you believed in me
even when I struggled to believe in myself.
And now, with all these memories scattered within me,
I still cannot seem to put the pieces together.
Perhaps some things are not meant to be understood immediately.
Perhaps love is sometimes
holding on through the silence,
believing through the distance,
and waiting through the pain.
I hope that, despite everything,
We continue to grow stronger for each other.
I hope the distance teaches us
how precious our presence is to one another.
And I know that, wherever life takes us,
you will remain in my prayers
in every step I take,
in every dream I pursue,
and in every victory I achieve.
When I finally get it right,
I still want to share it with you.
Somewhere down in my heart,
You will have a share in every success.
I will keep moving forward.
I will keep becoming the person
you can be proud of.
And even when you are not beside me,
I hope you will always know this:
Your love I always carry with me.
Your memory in my head,
and you are in my prayers.
And perhaps, one day,
when the distance is gone
and the pieces finally fall back into place,
we will look back at all of this
and realize that, despite everything,
We were worth it, always.
