— d e a r l t t l e y o u ,
honey
there will come a day when i'll think of ypu without feeling a million emotions all at once. i'll be able to look at you without going starry eyed, and your touch won't make me melt anymore. i'll no longer get drunk on your sweet words, high on your laughter.
i'll look at your face without wanting to look at it forever. i'll see your hair, your jaw, your waist, and my hands won't itch to reach out and touch, to hold you and never let go.
you won't catch me shuffling closer, leaning into your space. my body will no longer gravitate towards you, like a planet to the brightest sun, defying the concept of an orbit, going completely and entirely off kilter, astray, with no fear of burning.
the night of that day, i'll go to sleep with my cheeks dry. my prayers will for once be for myself, my happiness and wellbeing, and that of my loved ones. i will replace you as my own number one priority. my last thought of the day, for the first time in a long while, won't be about how nice it would be to lay in your arms and listen to your heartbeat against my cheek, your warm breath against my temple.
