I miss what I once thought we could be.
It happened like I always knew it would. I have reached a point where the path walked seems far enough away that I can safely start charting a different course. No part of me thinks it was a mistake to go our separate ways, yet there are days when I remember something, and that memory leads me down the rabbit hole of us, and while the end was quite the whirlwind, I think of you with nothing but glee in my heart. You were one of the best things that's ever happened to me, and even though there wasn't anything we could do to prevent our downfall, I will forever wonder how I was able to let go of you so soon. Perhaps it's not about the passing of time, but more about the intensity of it - how painful it is as it rushes through you, as it knocks you off your feet, and reminds you that despite everything, life is never life at all.
