1.

do not go with him,

do not let any part of you disappear

 

2.

realize that sometimes

memories are more important,

and burn everything that hurts

 

3.

he may have taken pieces,

but you still have the rest.

rebuild.

do not wait for someone to bring you what is missing.

 

4.

remember "if you love him, let him go" is bullshit,

but do it anyway

 

5.

it is going to hurt

let it burn,

but do not live in it

 

6.

there is a time for everything,

and a time for everything to end.

close the book and pick up a new one

 

7.

sleep with the doors unlocked

sleep on his side of the bed,

pretend he is coming home.

celebrate when he doesn't

 

8.

keep running

nothing can hurt you if it can't catch up.

 

9.

go ahead and cry

don't let anyone say you shouldn't be

wash him away one last time

 

10.

let him go
