I crossed your name off my diary

I opened my journal again today. It was left blank halfway for almost two years after you left me heartbroken. I haven’t read what was inside and I hate to see your name again.

You are a part of my life that I have left untouched hidden in the darkest side of my memory. I often forgot that you were once a man I loved. The man of my dream, the muse of my story.

Today, I saw your name again. But you are not the villain that I carved into my brain. At least on those pages, you were still the man I loved and adored. We know how things have changed.

So I crossed your name off my diary. I started writing on a new page, picking things where I left them off. Finding pieces of myself that I lost after losing you.
