you weren't mine,
but you mattered.
i don't have the right to miss you not really. you were never mine to lose, never mine to hold. but still, some part of me tugs at your memory like a loose thread i forgot to tie.but you mattered.
it's strange, loving someone without a place to put that love. carrying it around like a secret that aches quietly against my ribs. you weren't mine. but you mattered.

you had a way of existing in my life without ever truly belonging to it. you were the almost, the what if, the once in a lifetime disguised as a maybe. and somehow, that almost became everything to me. you made the ordinary feel like magic, the quiet feel like home, and the shortest moments with you feel more alive than most of my days.

I’ll be honest, you made me feel thingsi didn't even know i could feel. you made me laugh when i didn't want to. you made me softer, even when i tried so hard to stay guarded. you saw pieces of me i hide from everyone else. and i saw pieces of you you hide from the world.
we were never "us" in a way the world recognizes. but in our own invisible,
unspoken way - we were enough.
and god, was it enough.
some nights, i still replay our conversations in my head like old songs. unspoken way - we were enough.
and god, was it enough.
when the world is too loud, i remember the way you listened.
when i doubt myself, i remember the way you believed in me.
you were a safe place i never had the right to keep.

you are the place my heart 
goes when it's tired.
the person my soul whispers
about when it's quiet.
you were never mine,
but you will always be
one of the most beautiful
chapters i was lucky
enough to live.
thank you. for everything.
even the things we never got
to have.
