“Just because you miss someone, doesn’t mean you need them back in your life. Missing is just a part of moving on.”

“But just because you’re strong and resilient doesn’t mean you never need someone to be there for you, to take care of you.”

“When you miss someone....it’s weird…your body doesn’t function normally..as it should. Because I miss you, and my heart…it’s not steady…my soul it sings numb. Fingers are cold…like you…your soul.”

“Miss someone until they come back, or until you come back, until their absence in your life becomes something to be avoided at all costs. Miss them until you don’t have to anymore, until you’re reunited in your favorite booth in your favorite restaurant ordering your favorite meal, miss them until it feels like you never left. Or miss them until you can’t anymore, until the things you miss are identified and cataloged as things and not a person, until you figure out that easy company and long talks and unblinking, all-knowing eye contact will find you again the way they found you the first time. Miss someone until you don’t.”

“Just because someone came back for you is no reason to be with them. Just because someone loves you is no reason to love them back.”

“I meant just because someone came back for you is no reason to be with them; just because someone loves you is no reason to love them back.”
