You always kind of knew your relationship might have an expiration date, but you never thought it would end like this. Throats too raw to scream anymore, eyes too dry to cry another tear, both of you suffocating by words that can never be unsaid.
You’re both drowning in the silence but overwhelmed by the echoes of your past. It can’t be undone. There’s no saving this now.
When two hearts come together in a relationship, both people know that there’s only two outcomes—it’ll either last forever, or it’s going to end.
And this wasn’t that serious, it may have worked out, it may not have. For the time being though, it was perfect. You were happy, he was great, your relationship was fun… until it wasn’t.
Whether it was you or him, someone went too deep, and developed feelings that couldn’t be reciprocated. What could have maybe become something later on was over before it had a chance to. You let someone in and they walked right back out.
It ended, and it ended badly. You weren’t even ready for it to become real, so you definitely weren’t ready for it to be over. Now all you’re left with are so many unanswerable questions. Could it have been something great? Did I just lose someone who could have been my everything?
When you’re laying awake fighting to push back the unending stream of “what if’s” remember that if it was meant to be, it would be. Let the screaming and crying make you see that it couldn’t have gone anywhere. Calm your overthinking mind by reminding yourself that it couldn’t have been something great because it never became great.
When you buy a gallon of milk and it goes bad before you can finish it, you don’t sit around wondering why it went sour, you just go to the store and get a new one. It might not be the same brand, but you keep shopping around until you find the one that’s right for you.
The relationship that’s meant to be won’t have an expiration date, it’ll have a yearly anniversary instead.
