half a year without you
Yes it’s been months
Six to be exact
And i've thought a lot about what i would say to you if i ever got the courage
I would tell you all about how this half a year without you has been for me
I would tell you how it felt to go from whatever we were back to total strangers
And i would start from the beginning
The first month (October) was hard. At the time I thought it would be the hardest one. It wasn't
It was rainy though. Maybe not outside, but in my room, it never stopped pouring
The second month (november) was spent pretending nothing happened
It was spent going for donuts on thanksgiving ignoring the tension that could be cut with a knife
It was spent awkwardly laughing hoping no tears would fall by accident
This was the hardest month
Month three (december) was spent acting okay.
It was spent giving up my alcohol supply for you on your birthday and answering drunken facetime calls from you at two in the morning pretending like every word i knew you didn't mean isn't breaking my heart all over again
January (month four) was spent angry with you but also angry with me
I should've been over you by now
It was spent green with envy over something i shouldn't even want anymore
The fifth month (february) was spent tired.
Tired of being mad, of thinking about you, of forgiving you, of wanting you, of hating you, and tired of loving you
Now, as i enter the sixth month (march), the first real month of spring,
I hope it will be spent growing
I hope it will be spent letting the light of others in through the shadows of our past
I hope it will be spent feeling the love of those who want to stay and forgetting the worthlessness i felt when you left
I hope it will be spent like the flowers
Shedding old skin, and blooming new petals
