I honestly don't want to let you go, for I am scared of the what-ifs and could-have-beens that will eventually come true. That's why I am here again, sitting in our usual place, waiting for you to come back. I know that it is a lost cause, an impossible miracle to happen in December, a hopeless idea that will never make it into action.
But don't worry. I'll be able to forget you, perhaps some part of you. I know I can do that too. Allow me to bear these memories for a few more times; allow me to live with and hold them for a few more times. Be it days, months, or years, I'll take my time. I know forgetting you is this hard, and I know I can never do that fully, but I think I can make these memories be at the back end of my heart, to make space for the future memories I'll have for someone new.
Perhaps it was sad that we ended up here, but maybe it was the right thing that happened for us. It might be the ending we didn't imagine, but I know for sure that something will also begin; a new story will come in the making, and that is what I hope for the both of us—to find the happiness we both deserve and to love the people who were destined for each of us.
I'll be happy for you , and I know you'll be happy for me, too.
