Dear heart,

I am sorry that he doesn’t think you are worth it anymore. I am not sure if you failed me or I failed you. I think we have grieved this loss and I want us to embrace this, one last time and then never look back. Will you forget him? Forgetting him will also make you forget all that he made you go through. So it can’t be such a bad deal after all. Is it? I want you to stop hurting now. Because you are hurting me for someone for whom we don’t exist.

You shouldn’t have fallen for him. If you did, you shouldn’t have fought for him. You have invested a big part of yourself in him. It has been an exhausting journey and I need it to be over now. I am sorry for you. For us. I want you to learn to live again. Songs are not always to be dedicated. It is not necessary for someone to always occupy your thoughts. It is okay to not live for someone. For once, maybe, live for yourself. Teach me to live again. It’s been a long time since we lived. Maybe I will be my own home. Maybe my own heart will be my hero.
