Finally, the Final Goodbye
He came and picked up the rest of his stuff from my apartment last night. It's like removing an entire part of my life from myself. I didn't know whether to be relieved or broken after he left. No Hello, no I'll always think about you. Just went through the bags and gave a noncommital Thanks before speeding off, away from me.
Most likely the last time I'll ever see him. You never know which will be the last kiss, which will be the last time you see their smile. Now, all I can do is remember it and bare the sharp pain that comes with that remembrance.
I know I'll live. I know that eventually I'll be all right. But, right now, all I can feel is the emptiness he left behind.

That's really powerful. Thank you for writing it.
My heart goes out to you.
your pain is palpable and totally understandable. if it's of any solace, know that (at least in my experience) there's nothing like moving to a new state to move to a *new state*. i.e. healing (and for that matter, transformation) seem to come at warp speed when the surroundings are unfamiliar. as you say, "keep looking towards what makes you happy". :-) (I liked that one...)
