Yesterday, I unexpectedly felt the urge to look up my ex-friends online.
I don’t exactly know why I did it, but part of it is because I genuinely miss them.
As I scrolled through their pictures, I noticed how different they were compared to before. How their hair was much longer now, how tall they’d gotten, and how much more mature they looked.
I smiled.
Things have gotten better since we ended things. They finally got the life they deserved, and I also got mine.
Parts of me still long for their presence. I still miss the warmth of their hug, the sweet words they utter, and the reassuring smiles they possess.
I often wonder about the things I should have done. If I had communicated better, perhaps we would still be friends. If only I had listened more carefully, I wouldn’t feel this way.
As I stared at each of their faces, a warmth of gratitude emerged through me.
It made me realize that people come and go because they’re only there for a chapter in your life. Their purpose is momentarily. But they can also remain in your heart permanently.
I will forever cherish the moments we’ve spent together and the memories we’ve shared.
Until next time,
