i'm unsure where we should go from here
was the most heartbreaking text i've ever had the displeasure of receiving. we were on a boat together and rocking back and forth in the wind and suddenly she threw me overboard. we had been a team—not a particularly *functional* team, but a team, who withstood many tempests prior.
and we were severed. done. there was no goodbye i could really say. what do i say when my everything doesn't know where to go from here with me? “sorry, can i get you a map?” i didn't choose love to be shit on like a poorly planned hike. but, there she went—right back out of my life, a ghost again, a ghost whose voice rings in my ears, a ghost who i still smell in lazy mornings, and try to exorcise late at night.
