i went for a long walk today and i passed the restaurant where we went on our first date and i wasn't sad
i passed the cliff overlooking the river that we sat on watching the sunset after we went to that restaurant on our first date and i wasn't sad
i passed the cafe where we went for breakfast when we were both hungover one morning and i wasn't sad
i passed the streetlamp we kissed under when it was snowing and i wasn't sad
i passed the coffee shop where we broke up and i wasn't sad
i walked along the canal where you used to go for walks all the time and i wasn't sad
someone said your name and i wasn't sad
i sent you a snapchat of the sun setting over parliament hill and the ottawa river because i knew that you love going for walks as much as i do, but you were at the library working on a project with my roommate and i didn't regret hitting send and the fact that the sight of the frozen river and the beautiful view from the top of the cliff made me think of you didn't make me sad
i didn't go to any of these places intentionally but i realized that i'm not sad about our breakup anymore and all i could think of instead was how happy i felt in those moments that we went to all those places and that makes me happy to know i'm over you and i can feel happy and fond about the things we did together
