How can someone you hate still hurt you so much?
It’s been seven months.
And it still hurts.
Every time someone walks by me with your cologne, the pain in my chest is beyond any physical hurt I have ever known.
I tell myself I have already let go.
But I haven’t.

I met someone today.
He’s amazing. He’s handsome. He’s kind. He’s nothing like you.
But he reminded me of you.
The way he smelled. The way he smiled. The way he held the door.
and it hurt.
That after all these months, all this time of trying to let go, you still follow me everywhere.
I try to see him as his own person. He’s different, I continue to tell myself.
But when I look at him, all I see is you.
Please stop. Please leave me alone. Please stop hurting me.
Maybe one day it will end.
I’ll stop seeing you in every guy I meet. I’ll stop smelling you in the passing person. I’ll stop looking at blue eyes and seeing you.
But till then I just have to try.
I’ll try to smile. I’ll try to laugh.
I’ll try to maybe be brave enough to one day give my heart out again.87Please respect copyright.PENANApAjavk4qoZ
