When The Person You Once Shared So Much Of Your Life With Becomes A Total Stranger.
The truth is, sometimes we try to force a forever life with temporary people.
It’s difficult to recover when the person you once shared so much of your life with is now a total stranger.
It makes you wonder if anything lasts. It makes you terrified to reveal your heart to anyone. You can’t help but question when they’ll leave or when you’ll start to drift apart.
It’s horrifying to know that someone who once knew your quirks, habits, annoyances, and just how you like your coffee in the morning is now a distant thought.
It’s horrifying to know that the person who once knew your body, every curve, mole, and tender spot, can forget it all, that they’ll learn the body map of another.
It leaves you asking, What happened? You can’t seem to pinpoint the moment where everything went wrong. The truth is, sometimes we try to force a forever life with temporary people.
All you know for sure is that you’re not the same. Yet you’re the very person you were all along.
Maybe the most disturbing aspect is that sometimes, drifting apart will happen as we grow. We’re both expanding into ourselves at different rates…
