You told yourself several times that you needed to rid yourself of the traces of Harry lingering in your life. You told yourself that doing so would finally help you sigh that sigh of relief knowing that he was out of your life for good. But something told you that maybe that idea was merely a dream, a figment of your imagination. Even though the two of you had been broken up for almost a month now you couldn't help but find bits and pieces of him scattered around your apartment and in your mind no matter how hard you tried to rid your life of the trace of him.

Finding pieces of Harry started in tidal waves but have since calmed to small splashes but both still hurt the same amount.

It started with finding one of his rubber bands on your bedroom floor while you were trying to clean up and then migrated to finding one of shirt buttons in the drawer that used to house his go to button up shirts. It seemed as though each day you were constantly reminded by the ghost of Harry no matter how much you needed him to leave you alone. But a small sliver of you didn't mind Harry's ghost lingering around, at least for a little while longer. It was reassuring knowing that finding his things around held him in your life a little bit longer and allowed you to gradually come off from him instead of all at once like you thought it would be.

You assumed that's why when you found the box of letters Harry had written you months ago back when things made sense you found yourself sitting on the floor reading them instead of tossing them out.

The curve and slight slant of Harry's handwriting was all too familiar and would forever be embedded into your mind and while you eyes glossed over the words written on the papers you realized that maybe that wasn't going to be such a bad thing.

"I ran to the store to get some milk...well I literally didn't "run" to the store, I drove but you get the point... I'll see you soon. Love, Harry"

"Y/N, my cousins invited us over for a holiday party so I went out and picked up a Mariah Carey Christmas album (Hence why it's on the counter). Listen to it. Learn it. Practice it because I heard she's having a karaoke party and we need to be ready. I'll see you later baby, I love you. - Harry"

"I know it was you who hid my really low cut v neck t-shirt so I'll give you until I come home from the gym to put him back where he belongs. (And don't hold him hostage like you did the other time) - Love, (a slightly upset and v neck-less) Harry"

"Okay this might be a bit cheesy but oh well I'm doing this. I love you so much, Y/N. You're the love of my life and I just need you to know that everything you do sends chills up my spine and makes my heartbeat race. You're the only person I could ever want and you're the only person I could ever need. I love you so much. I could go on for hours about this but my hand is hurting and I'd rather tell you the rest in person. I love you so much. - Harry. P.S. Do you like my creative placement of this letter on the cheese in the fridge? Get it? Because I said 'I know this is cheesy' Ha. Anyways, I love you so lots."

Harry's words made you laugh and cry and smile and altogether feel a wide range of emotions that only having been with Harry could make you feel. You could never erase him from your life even if you tried to and if ever given the chance to you'd decline. Things may not have worked out for the two of you but Harry would always remain a part of you and you would be forever grateful to have had him for the time you did.
