try to miss the times that he talked over you. the times that he made you feel like your opinion wasn’t worth wasting breath on. the times when he pressured you into doing something that he knew you didn’t want to do. the times that he lied. the times when he didn’t know how to handle you, and he didn’t even try to. the times that he belittled you. the times that he cultivated his feelings without giving thought to yours. the times when his friends made fun of you and he said nothing. the times when he laughed at something that you didn’t find funny. the times that you had not only petty disagreements, but fights that did irreparable damage. the times when you had to bite your tongue because you felt like voicing your beliefs would drive him away. the times that he twisted your words, taking your heartfelt sentences and using them as insults. the times he was someone you didn’t recognize. the times when his definition of love didn’t quite match up with yours.
and if you find that hard to do, then maybe you don’t actually miss him.
on the days that you miss him
