…and then one day it happened.

I stopped waiting for him to make his words a reality, and I realized that you cannot trust some people's words (even though you once swore by them), and you have to rely on their actions instead.
I forgot to feel stupid for all the times I gave him affection that was rejected, because I was reminded that vulnerability is one of my strengths, and I decided to save it for someone who was worthy of it.
When I saw that I had new messages I stopped thinking that one of them might be from him, and I realized that the wrong kind of hope can be a careless thing.
I went a whole week without thinking about him, because I replaced him with something more valuable.
I threw away the list of things I wanted to debate with him, because I found places where revolutionary ideas are everywhere.
I didn't feel the need to walk backwards, because I found better places to go.
I neglected to think about the past, because some moments don't carry on to the next, even though they once looked like they would have been able to.
I ran out of resentment, because some things aren't worth holding on to.
The last straw fell…and I wasn't there to catch it, because I didn't need it anymore.
