Heartbreak is disbelief.
That this would happen to me.
Endless comparison,
a soul-crushing realization that you will never love me in that way.
Moving on is apathy.
All the butterflies I felt for you have been poisoned by the time I spent with you.
Carelessness at your cries for a second chance.
I don't love you anymore, but your words still keep me up at night.
I stare a little longer in the mirror, trying to change the things you said you hate about me.
Parts of my body that you grabbed to tell me to lose weight.
Being unable to block you because of the need to compare your new girl(s) with me.
But healing is...
Healing is different.
Healing is forgetting about you.
Healing is loving myself the way I did before I met you. No longer forcing myself into a mold.
Healing is not having to prove to you (or myself) that I'm pretty. Because I can bloom even without you.
Healing is realizing that your new love interests aren't a personal jab at me, but rather a new chapter of your life I chose not to be a part of.
