- The Aftercost –
There is no shortcut from heartbreak, no easy way to heal, never have I known a heart that grieved too fast. And succeeded, in the least.
With every relationship we break, every connection we sever, a part of us and a part of them always forgets to leave. Even though it never had any reason to stay. Even though we tried to shove it away.
Memories hurt the most, then longing starts to eat you up, then ultimately the knowledge of their existence—without you—will haunt you far longer than Time itself allows.
It's truly hard to forget: Their favorites, the places you both stepped on, and everything you shared with sincerity.
But there also has never been a deadline to forgetting and moving on.
It's okay to still cry about it.
It's okay to still shut yourself off in anger and disappointment.
It's okay to still write about them.
It's okay to still listen to songs you discovered together.
Although things will never be the same. With all the aftercost of investing to something you believe would last, no song too happy, no road to unfamiliar, and no shop unvisited—you'll be okay.
Someday. Someday.
