To the girl that stopped hurting-

The thought of his name is now bearable. It no longer hurts the way it used to. The tears have dried, the memories are fading, the heart is healing, and the thought of him no longer makes you grab your chest in agony. When his name comes across your mind, you don't lie and tell yourself it's okay, you are slowly becoming okay.

It stings, but the pain is slowly disappearing. No more shedding tears in a random place, at a random time, because of him crossing your mind. You may still miss him, but it’s different now. You don’t wait for that knock on the door or your phone to start buzzing. No more avoiding your favorite place because it reminded you of him, no more skipping over that song because it was his favorite, no more missing out. 

The memories may seem like dreams, so distant, but you cherish them. You think about them from time to time just to remember how happy you were, but you are becoming happy again, day by day. You are living your life again. No more waiting around and no more wondering what went wrong. You are moving on. 

To the girl that stopped hurting, I know you thought it was impossible. You never thought you would get over this. You never thought you would heal or stop crying. Look at you, look at you now. It may still hurt…I know. But it’s getting better, everyday. You are becoming you again.
