Once I am done reminiscing about how beautiful life was with you, I begin to dream about how beautiful life would be with you here.
So innocent and complex. bringing light to a dark place. Wow. You are like the moon— making me feel seen and giving me light.
--- i miss you
I love that you make me feel, because for so long I have been scared that I could not feel anything, and that something was wrong with me. But I know that is not true, because this intense longing and desire for everything that is you proves otherwise.

--- everything that is you
--- growing apart
