i'll never chase, but i will definitely yearn in private. because sometimes you can miss someone without needing to run after them. you can still care, still think about them, and still choose to stay quiet. not every feeling needs to be shown. sometimes loving someone from a distance is the only choice that keeps your peace. it hurts, but you learn to carry it quietly. some people will always stay in your heart even if they are no longer part of your life. and that's okay. missing someone doesn't mean you have to lose yourself trying to keep them. sometimes the best thing you can do is feel everything deeply and still let go.
