The words i'll leave unsaid

I guess some people come into our lives just to be loved from a distance, and maybe you're one of those people for me.

We never became anything, and I don't think you ever knew how i felt about you. Maybe you never will, and that's okay. I was happy just admiring you, noticing the little things about you, and holding on to moments that probably meant more to me than they ever did to you.

Maybe some would call me a coward for never telling you how i love you. Perhaps, in another circumstance, i would have found the courage to say it. But we both know that some things simply cannot happen in this lifetime, no matter how much a part of me wishes otherwise. So i'll let these feelings remain mine, and let life take you wherever you're meant to be.

As you begin this new chapter in your life, i hope it brings you happiness, beautiful experiences, and many reasons to smile. You deserve good things, and i hope life is kind to you along the way.

Maybe a part of me will always wonder what it would have been like if things were different. But some questions are better left unanswered, and some feelings are better kept quietly in the heart.

If there's another lifetime, maybe I'll get to know you differently. Maybe the circumstances will be kinder to us then. For now, i'll leave you with nothing but good wishes. I hope life is gentle with you, wherever it takes you.

Take care. You may never know that this farewell was meant for you, but i'll remember you as someone i was grateful to have crossed paths with, even if only from a distance.

Today, it was you.

It’s been a while since i last saw you, and somehow, i still miss you today.

I know you’ve probably moved on, and maybe life has taken you somewhere far from where we used to be. I don’t want to disturb that. I’m just quietly grateful that, once in a while, i get to see you from afar. Even if that’s all i'm allowed to have now, somehow, it’s enough.

I won’t pretend i don’t miss you. I really do. Maybe some part of me always will.

But more than wanting you back, i hope life is kind to you. I hope you find the kind of love that feels safe, genuine, and certain. I hope you find peace, happiness, and someone who gives you everything I could never give you.

I just wanted to acknowledge it today— I miss you. And I hope you’re doing well, wherever life has taken you.
