Margaret Atwood
it doesn’t get easier. there is no off switch you can use to shut off your emotions, no kill switch to wipe out his existence, and no delete button to remove all the memories. you’ll still feel his arm going down your waist and you’ll still catch yourself thinking about the way his eyes shine when he laughs. you’ll remember the day he told you he loved you and you’ll remember the night he wished he didn’t. and you’ll hold onto every memory, good and bad, because no matter what, you will always love him.
“one day she’ll burry the memories she made with you”
