Souls

As I wake up to your absence today, I notice that the sound of your voice in my head is quieter. Thoughts of you scream softer, and the look on your face as I close my eyes is not as prominent. Today, as I wake up to your absence, I notice that I miss you a little less, and that I begin to believe that I will do just fine without you.

Today was not my best and tomorrow I could be my own sunshine. Today was spent in oblivion and tomorrow I could be a light to the universe.

Some relationships just end. Like a star, they burn bright and brilliant, and then nothing in particular goes wrong, they just reach their end. They burn out.

Don’t wait for apologies from people who have walked all over you before you allow yourself to find time to heal. Don’t expect them to be sorry, and don’t live under the illusion that you can only move on once they’ve come crawling back to you, asking for forgiveness. They might not even realise they hurt you in the first place. They might not even care. You don’t need to wait for anyone to bandage your wounds for you, because honestly, there is no one else who does it better than you.
