One Step at a time

years since she left me, but I still can't forget about her. I see her face everywhere I go. I hear her voice in my head. I can't even sleep without dreaming about her.

I know that I should move on, but it's so hard. She was my everything. We were together for years, and I thought we would be together forever. But then she met someone else, and she left me for him.

I'm trying to forget about her, but it's not easy. I've tried everything. I've deleted all of her pictures and messages. I've blocked her on social media. I've even started dating other people. But nothing seems to work.

I know that I need to give myself time to heal, but it's so hard. I miss her so much. I want her back.

I'm sitting on a bench in the park, staring at the empty swing next to me. This is where we used to sit together, talking for hours on end. I can still hear her laughter, see her smile. It's like she's still here with me.

But she's not. She's gone. And I don't know how to forget her.

I take a deep breath and try to focus on the present moment. But it's no use. My mind keeps wandering back to her. I wonder where what she is doing now. Is she happy? Is she thinking about me?

I close my eyes and try to imagine a future without her. But it's impossible. She's always been a part of my life, and I don't know how to live without her.

I open my eyes and look around the park. It's a beautiful day, but I don't feel the joy that I used to. Everything just seems empty without her.

I stand up and start to walk home. I know that I need to keep moving forward, but it's so hard. I want to go back in time and change things. I want her back.

But I know that's not possible. She's gone, and I have to accept that. I have to learn to live without her.

It's going to be hard, but I know I can do it. I have to. For my own sake.

I take a deep breath and keep walking. One step at a time.
