Dear ex lover,

We never expected it to end like this

I never imagined losing my best friend

I never imagined losing you

I remember endless nights

Full of tangible sorrow

I no longer shed tears for you

They will not change the past

Do you remember holding me

One night when my family left

They went on vacation and in a way,

We did too..

I remember your arms

Your fingertips callused from work

Your scent consumed me

You always smelled like home..

Why did you leave me?

I ask myself this knowing that i will never have an answer.

My mother tells me it’s just the way life goes

“Mija.. move on”

But moving on requires forgetting

There are too many memories

Too many moments that i refuse to let go of

I hope you are doing well

I heard you have a girlfriend,

Maybe she will be the anchor that keeps you grounded

I still love you.
