Dear grief, (breakup)

Dear Grief,

In the silence that follows the end, there’s a hollow echo of what used to be. The shared dreams and whispered promises now linger as fragments of a past life. The space that once held love is now an empty canvas, and each day feels like trying to paint over the memories that haunt me. I grieve not only for the person I have lost but for the future that will never be. I mourn the companionship that once defined my days and the intimacy that made me feel whole. Yet, in this pain, I seek to find myself again, to rebuild and redefine who I am without the reflection of someone else beside me. Teach me to navigate this loneliness with grace, and help me find hope in the possibility of new beginnings.

With sorrow and hope,
me
