They say that if you love something, you should let it go. They never tell you how hard that is. And how guilty you’ll feel, even if you know it’s the right decision. To love someone is to let them become a part of you. They have a home in your heart and a room in your mind. Now you have to learn to live without them occupying it. Learn how to fill the empty space. Learn a new routine that doesn’t involve their voice, their embrace, their comfort. Tell yourself it’s for the best.

“They’re better off. I’m better off.”

But do you really believe that?
