I want you to know that it's okay to miss the past, that you can let someone go and still love them with every atom of your soul. I want you to understand that, it's okay to feel lonely and sometimes it's okay to hurt when you remember how they once loved you and now, all the beautiful memories have become painful to remember. I hope you won't mistake your loneliness for his absence. When you feel this feeling creeping inside your bones, remember that you don't long for him. You don't need him. You long to be loved. You long to be craved.
You miss being in love, you miss being someone's favorite hello and his hard goodbye. You don't miss him, you just miss the love. Every time you feel like going back to him, remember the nights you spent feeling like you never mattered. Remember how lonely you felt even when he was around you. Remember how your heart still aches when you remember how they made you feel. Darling, I want you to remember that your past shouldn't be alive right now making you ache to the point of wanting what's gone.
Remember the reasons why they left. Darling, the sun still shines on the dead crops, and so, it's okay to love, it's okay to love even the ones who are gone. What's not okay is wanting to go back. What's not okay is still reliving every memory. What's not okay is still beating yourself for what's gone. I know you're feeling empty, like a deep hole within that can never be filled. You feel as if something is missing, you feel like your smiles are empty. I want you to know that it's okay to feel this way, that healing takes time. 
Darling, of all the things you've lost, you miss yourself the most. The longer you hold onto something, the deeper the wound. Leave the past where it rightfully belongs. I hope you give yourself time to heal, time to understand yourself. I hope you'll always remember to look beyond the pain, I hope you'll always look forward to new beginnings. There's always something worth living for, something better than the past. There's always someone worth living for and that someone is you. I hope you remember to love yourself on there days.
