You Thought There Was Time 🌅⏳

You saw the gaps.

The issues that needed tending.

You noticed the subtle cracks beneath the sweet surface.

Not from a place of judgement — but with care, clarity, and the desire to grow together.

You didn’t lay everything out all at once.

You picked a few threads to gently explore.

You thought there was time.

And for a while, maybe there was.

Because you believed…

🌙 That you were building a future together

🌙 That the tough conversations could wait — not because they weren’t important, but because there was a lifetime ahead

🌙 That love was enough to bridge the distance between emotional strength, between maturity, between wounds

You believed…

🌄 That there were more sunsets ahead

💤 That every morning, you’d wake up with them still by your side

🗺 That the world would unfold in shared adventure, shared healing, shared hands

You believed…

That the small fights were just friction

That the shared silence was understanding

That the rhythm you were growing into was real — not one-sided

And then…

That future parted.

Not suddenly.

But undeniably.

And maybe, just maybe —

Part of you knew all along.

🧩 That you were the one holding the relationship up, alone

⚖️ That there was a misalignment in values, in vision, in effort

💔 That the emotional maturity, the depth required to endure — wasn’t being matched

⛈ That love existed… but commitment didn’t

💡 That being seen as a lifelong partner was never on the other side

🌊 That this connection, as meaningful as it felt, was not meant to stay

That truth doesn’t make your love any less real.

It makes your grief even more sacred.

So grieve. Fully.

Don’t rush to be okay. Don’t numb what hurts.

Let it rise. Let it empty.

Because grief is love — just looking for a place to go.

And while you grieve…

✨ Look at the stars — they shine because of the dark

✨ Look at the moon — always shifting, always returning, guiding you home

✨ Pick up the pieces — not for anyone else, but for you

You are not behind.

You are not broken.

You are becoming.

And when the time is right…

You will rise — not louder, but clearer.

Not faster, but stronger.

Like a phoenix from the ashes 🔥

Reborn.

Still you.

But never the same again.
