here, i tell you the truth.

sitting there on a bench where we used to have our little conversations every morning, i could feel a feeling of relief wash over me that i was finally able to let go of our every almost.

what i hardly realized was i romanticized those things we had in the past more than they deserved. i grew accustomed to the idea of you that i had planted inside my head. and the idea itself became my muse.

while you never were.
