Everyone Thinks I’m Over Him
Everyone thinks I’m over him because I don’t talk about him anymore.
I don’t cry in public. I don’t post sad quotes at midnight. I don’t mention his name like it still belongs in my mouth. When people say, “You’ve moved on,” I smile and let the sentence end there.
What they don’t know is that healing can be silent. It doesn’t always announce itself. Sometimes it slips in quietly and rearranges your heart without asking permission.
I still think of him when certain songs play unexpectedly. I still pause when I pass places we used to go, as if memory has its own gravity. Sometimes, I imagine what I would say if he stood in front of me again—not to reopen anything, but to understand how far I’ve come.
I don’t chase closure anymore. I don’t need answers that arrive too late. I’ve learned that some endings don’t come with explanations, only acceptance.
Being over someone doesn’t always look like forgetting. Sometimes it looks like remembering without breaking. Like holding the past gently instead of letting it bruise you.
I loved him deeply. I lost him quietly. And I survived without announcing it.
If that looks like moving on to you, then maybe you’re right.
