The Space You Took

The hardest part about losing someone is getting used to a life without them.

You never realize just how much they were in your life until it comes down to learning how to live without them in your routine.

You see something that reminds you of them and suddenly your heart stops entirely.

You recognize that one spot in your heart is no longer as warm as it once was. Instead it’s grown cold.

Absent.

The only thing you can do, though, is miss them.

It doesn’t help when they were someone you shared life with romantically.

Because in that stage where you no longer talk, you wonder if you’ll ever be able to love again because it was them you wanted to love. It was them you wanted to grow with.

You truly never know how much someone means to you until they no longer show up in your life.

You can no longer ask, “When are you coming back?” For they won’t. Not this time.

I’ve never loved someone the way that I love you…
