It’s been 6 years since I last saw her. We used to spend almost every day together—school, tuition, evenings. I had feelings for her but never said a word. She was moving fast, changing boyfriends often, and honestly, even if I had confessed, I doubt we’d have ended up together.
Still, something about that time stuck with me. Not because I want her back—but because some bonds never got their chance, and they quietly stay with you.
I just watched Normal People, and it hit harder than I expected, and felt like I needed to let this out somewhere!!

I read this and have never resonated more w something. Its not even the feeling of wanting them back its just my body feels its missing something. i can never feel completely at rest or when i am i still feel something is wrong.
some ppl aren’t meant to stay—they’re meant to haunt
not in a bad way
just… a quiet echo
a reminder of who you were, who you almost became, and what almost feels like
you don’t need closure
you need to accept that some stories don’t end
they just fade into background noise and show up when a song hits too hard
it’s human
let it ache
then keep living
