Them

It won’t hit you until the morning after, when you wake up without them next to you.

It won’t hit you until you’re out with your friends and their name won’t be mentioned even once.

It won’t hit you until it’s three a.m. and you’ve checked your phone’s messages multiple times but nothing is there.

It won’t hit you until you’re at the supermarket and you’ll have nobody to double check what you need.

It won’t hit you until you’ve got the greatest news and you can’t tell the person you’d always tell first.

It won’t hit you until you’re watching a movie that you’d usually watch with them, and when that scene where the both of you died of laughter plays, you find yourself sitting in silence.

It won’t hit you until you see a couple across the street gazing into each other’s eyes when you’ll miss the familiarity.

It won’t hit you until you’re drunk and lonely, when you’ll miss being held.

It won’t hit you until you’re finally at your best, but they’re not there.

It will hit you then, that you’re doing ok.

That your heart is still beating, that you can survive without the help of anybody. That you can be happy on your own, that;s when you thought you’d be sad over it forever, you were wrong,

When that happens,

I want you to know

that without you,

Their life wouldn’t have been the same and sometimes they feel lost without you too.
