That day will come. You will feel as if struck by lightning, out of the blue. Out of a choice you once thought it was the right one: leaving the person who gave you everything.
She was the one who would have given her all to make amends. To restore the balance you had, the beautiful strong connection. To go back to what made you the perfect couple. She had enough love inside of her for the both of you. And yet, you chose to disappear, to not try harder.

If she looked at you with love and admiration, now she’s looking at herself that way. You forced her to take that step towards healing. You opened her eyes to the act of radical self-care. And she made it through.
Even if you once thought she wouldn’t be able to overcome what you two had, she succeeded. Now that you’re out of her life and out of her heart, you see things differently.

That’s when you remember all the things you miss about her. Every conversation, how she would ask you about your day. How she always texted you whenever something reminded her of you. The way you shared what you cared about the most, whether it’s music, movies.
You will begin to miss her even more as you realize there aren’t many people out there who genuinely care.
Especially these days. You will find sweet what you may have once found annoying. Because what you thought was being needy, was in fact caring too much. If you thought she lacked confidence, it was because she was completely vulnerable with someone who did not value it.
