You’ve been gone for so long. The first few years without you were insanely difficult. There’s no way to adequately describe the pain, heartbreak, and despair. I thought about you all day, and I cried myself to sleep at night. The tears were always just one memory, one grief trigger away from streaming down my face. But it got better; slowly, ever so slowly. I learned to live my life without you. I had to; I had no choice. These days, I’m okay. But that doesn’t mean that I forgot about you. Forgetting you is impossible.
It doesn’t matter where I live, who I’m living with, whether I’m in a relationship or not, or what I’m doing. While I might not think about you nearly as much as I used to, I still think about you. Even though I’m fine on my own now, I still miss you. I may not remember everything we did or said, but I have many beautiful memories of you and our life together. And although I might have forgotten a thing or two after all these years, I’ll certainly never forget you.
No matter how long you’ve been gone, I’ll always love you and I’ll always remember you. You’ve shaped me in a lot of ways and taught me so much. You’re part of who I am, and you’ll be in my heart forever.
After I lost you, I wondered what it would be like after many years without you. Would I have a hard time remembering you? Would I (gasp!!!) eventually forget about you?
No, and I can most assuredly say, “Forgetting you is impossible!”
