You’ll forget them on a random Tuesday, and that’s the strange mercy of time. If you left for reasons you knew were real, let the ending have its dignity. Don’t turn a breakup into a negotiation simply because you miss someone. Respect their distance. Resist the urge to chase, explain or prove that you still care. When nostalgia arrives, remember why you left. We have a tendency to mourn the person we lost and forget the person we were when we decided we had had enough. You can miss them. You can love them. You can even leave a small corner of your heart open to the possibility that life may cross your paths again. But you don't have to act on the feeling. Some things are not meant to be fought for twice. Sometimes you honour what you had by having the courage to let it end.
