Where do I go from here?

Simply put, I miss you.

I miss the happier version of me with you.

I miss sound of your voice.

I miss the heaviness of your embrace as you leaned in to put your arms around me.

I miss you stroking my hair in the car while I drove.

I miss your hearty laugh.

I miss your smile.

I miss the twinkle in your eye when I caught you looking at me with a smile on your face.

Today as I drove by your street I desperately missed our moments. I desperately wanted you to comfort me after everything I encountered. I wanted to finally be vulnerable with you being the person to allow me to be unapologetically raw and make me feel better. I ended all contact with you in my everyday life for fear of continually being hurt by what has become very toxic.  One can not walk away without any regret and or sadness after all the time we spent together.  Today was just one of those days.  It will pass and I will move forward.  It was for the best that we examine how to get back to better places without the influence of one another. I understand that fully now.  I hope that you understand it as well.

Simply put - You found someone else.

They probably bring out a better version of you then I.

They probably revel in the sound of your voice.

You are wrapping your arms around them.

You will show them some sort of affection that you couldn't for me.

Your laugh will make them smile from their heart.

Your smile will make them happy to see your face.

You will have the twinkle in your eye when you look at them.

Simply put - I should just stop thinking about you.
