I was scrolling through my phone today and I came across a picture of us.
It startled me -I didn’t expect to see that memory and it caught me off guard.
I thought I had deleted all of those pictures long ago, and with good reason..I no longer let baggage weigh me down.
It was one of those moments when you could see the happiness in our faces and the sparkle in our eyes.
I put the phone down and my mind began to race with memories of a time long ago..
When we were young, love was new and the world seemed full of endless possibilities.
The adventurous fun, the spontaneous laughter and the soul filled love we shared seemed like it would never end.
We lived to the fullest and loved like every day was our last.
Truthfully, I can’t tell you why we didn’t make it, but it’s been so long, it doesn’t really matter anyways.
I made peace with our last long ago, so I hold onto the beautiful memories that make me smile.
I’ve long since let go of all the negative stuff, because all it ever did was weigh me down.
Once upon a time, I cried countless tears and endured so many sleepless nights because of us..
I’m past that now.
So, I choose to remember the happiness we had, the love we shared and the life we enjoyed together.
It doesn’t make me sad anymore- I wish you nothing but the best in your life.
I’ve moved on and I’m sure you have to.
I smile as the thoughts of a time long past flood my mind.
For a time, it was beautiful, it was love and it was us.
That will always be what I remember about you..
Because that’s what makes me happy.
Maybe we weren’t meant to be and you’re just a memory now,
But I choose to remember the good things, because happiness is and always will be a much better place for me to be.
Some people were meant to be in your heart, not in your life.
