i've healed enough to be fine seeing you again on a random day, because i'm sure my heart will never look at you the way it once did. i won't feel that sudden rush or that soft hope i used to carry. my hands won't shake, and my mind won't replay old memories. i can smile, say hello, and keep walking without feeling sad after. it doesn't mean what we had was nothing. it just means i've accepted that it's over. i've made peace with the silence and the distance. you are no longer a wound to me, just a chapter i've already closed for good.
