It’s okay to be not okay.
Seven Years in the Echo
Seven years—
a lifetime stitched into moments,
laughs and tears tangled tight like roots beneath my skin.
I gave you my days, my nights,
my heart unfolded like a map—
hoping you’d find your way back to me,
even when the road got dark.
We built a world from whispers and promises,
but somewhere between the cracks,
the silence grew louder than our love.
I carried the weight of goodbye
long before the words were spoken,
felt the distance stretch like shadows
in the spaces where we used to be close.
Seven years—
and still, I’m here,
holding onto the pieces I can keep,
learning to love myself through the cracks you left behind.
Because some love isn’t forever,
but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t real—
it means it was ours,
and I was brave enough to live it.
