Unsent Letters: I Did Let You Go

It's more than a year now since the day I lost you, since the day I thought I let you go. I did let you go but I forgot that my heart has always been with you. Even after many months, I'm still here picking up the pieces left of you. I'm still going to places where we've been, stacking every memory we had so I wouldn't forget any of it. I'm still reminiscing about what we had and I can't help but share our memories with other people with the same glow in my eyes and the same smile you gave me ages ago. I'm still rereading your letters, every word of it, as if I'm reading it for the first time. I'm still looking at our photos and going back to the days when we still shared the same rhythm.    It was so familiar. It felt like home.   I thought if I went back to the home where I can find familiarity and comfort, I'll regain everything I lost in the past, including you. But I was wrong. Change is the only thing constant in this world. And during the time we were apart, I forgot a tiny detail about you. You are also a person who can't control change. And when I looked at your eyes for the first time after that day, I realized that you were not the same person I lost. And that it's time to let you go.
