The thing with someone leaving is that, when you are left by someone, you are not only left with the sudden absence of that person. Even if they leave with the full intent of leaving, erasing every part of themselves from your lives by removing pictures from photo frames and clothes from the hangers in your closet, the one thing they can never erase or take completely, are the memories.

By presenting you with their absence, they leave you with this blinding sense of their presence in your life, and you find yourself constantly trying to battle it out of you.
The emptiness beside you on the sheets of your bed shouldn’t speak as much as it does, nor should the missing smell of coffee that used to hit you every morning remind you of a smile you are never going to receive. But it does anyway. And you force yourself to learn to live with it, the emptiness. Until it starts feeling like a part of you.
