Trust the process, it does get easier.

Dear You,

You were right. It hurts a little bit less today. I’ve just realised it. The impact has lessened and I’m not in as much pain. The pain of missing you. Don’t get me wrong, you’re still on my mind more than ever! But there’s a part of me that’s gone dormant and it’s taken a bit of my love with it. Yes, my love for you… so not only do I miss you a little less, I love you a little less too.

I never thought I’d see the day I’d be writing about my pain in this way. Missing you hurt so much, that I never thought it would get easier. But it has. And you were right. I will eventually get to a point where I’m over you. Over us. They’ll be a time when I’ll wake up and not be completely obsessed with you.

So to you (and my future self re-reading this) in this letter, I want you to know that yes I still think about you and of course I do still miss you. But it no longer hurts as much to remember you. To remember what we had. How I feel about you isn’t the exact same feeling now as it was then. Trust the process. It does get easier.

Though a part of me will never stop loving you, it’ll be a small part. Rest assured they’ll come a day when we’ll both be free from this.

From, me.
