Today I remember and honour every person I’ve ever been in love with. Thank you for being in my life and I’m sorry for the ways I may have hurt you.

I honour that loves gets messy and painful and can sometimes feel like a tear-stained face or like you’re walking on air for the first time.

I remember all the firsts, the giddy feelings, the glow and the spark. I remember the ache of being without you. How I wondered if I could breathe again.

I remember the boring moments where nothing much was happening at all. Except everything.

I remember the lessons and the ways you opened me up to new life, new experiences and new music.

I take back the music I stopped listening to because it reminded me of you.

For all the lovers and the friends that aren’t in my life anymore. Thank you. I love you
