dear future me
maybe when you’re reading this
it doesn’t feel like this anymore
maybe it’s quieter in a different way
not the kind that presses against your ears
just something softer
right now it still lingers
not loudly
just enough that it doesn’t fully leave
and you don’t really know what to do with it
so you carry it
like something unfinished
i hope you’re proud of me
for staying
for not leaving even when it felt easier to
i hope you’re everything of me
but nothing like me
i can’t see you yet
but i keep thinking about you
i think i’m trying to get there
just slowly
just like this
💛
