You know the relationship has ended.
Your phone knows it too. No new messages. No shared plans. No reason to check whether they are online.
Yet you still look.
You replay conversations. You wonder what you should have said. You remember the good days and forget what made the relationship difficult.
A friend says, "You need to move on."
You wish it were that simple.
But I want to begin with a question that is more useful.
What have you lost apart from the person?
Perhaps you lost a daily routine.
A future you had pictured.
