You ever not talk to people you love to protect them from your energy at the moment?
“But I must admit I miss you quite terribly. The world is too quiet without you nearby. I go to bed early and rise late and feel as if I have hardly slept.”
— Lemony Snicket, The Beatrice Letters
“So what if he doesn’t love you anymore. You didn’t have him in your life once before and you were fine. So you’ll be fine without him again. All you need to do now is show him that it was his loss, not yours.”

Maybe the solution isn’t replacing you or forgiving you or forgetting you. Maybe it’s always been about me.
I don’t know when we met but I think it was a Friday in May
And I don’t know why you left but I think it was an Amy in LA
And I don’t know where I’ll be next year
Or if I’ll want to see you back here
Because I know I made mistakes
But you hurt me worse in a deeper way
And I don’t know what will happen to you
But I know that I’ll be okay
