i know that things are over between us. and that it’s time for me to let go and just trust if it’s supposed to come back, it will. and i won’t need to beg for it and i won’t need to even think about it.
please don’t mistake me setting the pain down for me moving on or forgetting you. i just can’t hold it anymore is all. i’m not throwing us away. i’m just setting us on a shelf. maybe to be revisited later. i hope so. but i can’t keep thinking about that. it hurts. it’s leaving me stranded.
so i’m going to set it down. just for right now and i promise my love for you will persevere quietly on the shelf i set it on. but i can’t keep looking at it, i can’t keep holding it. just for right now.
i love you, z.
