  • ๐ŸŽถ Best enjoyed with music in this playlist: bit.ly/4aDcvdo.And maybe it was simpler when we were younger. Maybe before we had a home and promises to keep, we had the time to focus on just beingโ€ฆ us. I donโ€™t even know. Somehow, in the middle of paying the bills, getting groceries, making a life, we lost touch of each other. Maybe in the pursuit of living a life together, I failed to see that heโ€™d let go of my hand and found solace in someone elseโ€™s.

  • ๐ŸŽˆ HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STORIES! It's been three years since my first episode. Thank you for tuning in to the stories I wish you heard. I hope you enjoy today's twin offering. He looks so lonely in the early morning sky. Never looked more beautiful than when heโ€™s breaking my heart. I look straight into his dark brown eyes and see a million forevers that would never be. Itโ€™ll be morning soon. I will be mourning soon.

    Iโ€™ve been busy. Just with the holidays. H โ€“ how about you?

    Thatโ€™s good to hear. I know this season can be tough sometimes but I see you hanging on.

    What? A story? Arenโ€™t you a little too old for stories?

    Fine, but you know how this goes. They never end up in the end.

    Are you around a lot of people? Yeah, go ahead. Iโ€™ll wait.

    You in bed? Why donโ€™t you breathe in for me? Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out.

    These are the stories that I wish you heard.

    I remember the last time you kissed me. You were half awake when I crawled into bed. With eyes closed, you kissed me good night. Outside, the city breathed in and out like it does every night. I didnโ€™t know what was happening at that time โ€“ didnโ€™t know that was the last time you could ever do that. If I knew then what I know now, would I have kissed you with my eyes wide open?

    The demons came back and they took me from you. Like the million times before, I say Iโ€™m sorry wondering if you ever will.

    When you left, I fantasized about the moment Iโ€™d see you again. 

    Perhaps the next time you see these eyes, they wonโ€™t be crying anymore. The next time you hear this heartbeat, it wonโ€™t be in sync with yours anymore.

    And maybe then, if Iโ€™m good and I eat my vegetables and drink my milk at night, you wouldnโ€™t know that I still care about you. Tell me about the lives youโ€™ve lived without me. Tell me it was worth it in the end.

    Because right now it doesnโ€™t seem like it ever will be. Tell me how I survive.

    I search through the cracks for my memory, some reminder that I was there. You are whole again and Iโ€™m still in pieces.

    Itโ€™s been years but even the earth remembers earthquakes. Skyscrapers may rise where bungalows fall but if you look closely, youโ€™ll see patches of wild grass growing in the cracks.

    You smile nonchalantly, pretend you donโ€™t notice me staring at you. You pretend you donโ€™t remember me loving you.

    You ask if Iโ€™m okay. I smile back. And just like that, a glimmer of kindness in your eyes, a patch of lime and purple in the concrete.

    I once lit a torch for you. Its glow provided light through the darkest nights. It kept me warm on evenings most unforgiving. And then you woke up one day, packed your bags and told me you didnโ€™t want it anymore.

    I set down my torch for you years ago but I lit a candle in its place. It has burned meekly all these years though it has never once warmed your bones.

    The last time I saw you, there was a vacancy in your eyes. They say itโ€™s the season of giving. This Christmas, Iโ€™m giving up on you.

    He says โ€œAh, but that was a lifetime agoโ€ and I nod. Sometimes, memories are so distant, they stop belonging to you. I remember loving him, I  remember slowing my breath so our hearts could beat in time, but itโ€™s as if it was a story someone told me over breakfast or a short film I saw online. 

    Yes, I loved him but that was a lifetime ago and Iโ€™m barely the same person.

    One day, I believe all the socks whoโ€™ve lost their pairs will find their missing halves. When that time comes, would we still feel the same?

    โ€œIโ€™m fine,โ€ I lie. โ€œBut for what itโ€™s worth, I release you. What happened happened a lifetime ago. I am letting you go.โ€

    No man steps in the same river twice. For it is not the same river. He is not the same man.

    How could I tell him? I thought he already knew. Sometimes, the river remembers.

    โ€œWhere Iโ€™m from, they name storms after women,โ€ he said to me and I asked why. โ€œOnly a woman can ravage so swiftly, so completely.โ€ At that point, I knew I loved him.

    I thought that I could take him. I thought I was his typhoon. Then one day, I realized heโ€™d been safe under his umbrella the whole time. Silly me.

    You said they name storms after women. Why donโ€™t they name earthquakes? If they did, Iโ€™d tell them to name one after you. You who shook me to the core โ€“ your fault line ran deep in my heart.
