delete him. pretend you never met him and he never happened. let him go. let go every memory, every "what if," every version of the story where things turned out differently. you don't have to carry someone who no longer chooses you. it's okay to grieve what you thought it would be, but don't let that grief keep you tied to something that's already gone. you deserve peace more than you deserve answers, and sometimes healing begins the moment you decide to stop revisiting what hurt you. pretend, for your own heart's sake, that he was just a passing chapter—one that taught you, shaped you, but does not define you. You are still whole without him. still worthy, still growing, still capable of a love that stays. one day, this won't ache the same way. one day, you'll look back and feel proud that you chose yourself, even when it was the hardest thing to do.
