I miss you.
I miss you every time I turned on the stove to cook for my favorite dinner. I miss you when I stumbled on Sergey Lazarevโs songs in Google. I miss you when I see people speaking Russian along the subway. I miss you when I started pouring out the last dregs of a bottle of wine on a shot glass you bought for me when we were in Armenia.
I miss you.
I miss you when Iโm passing by at a Turkish Restaurant where we used to eat spicy shawarma and my favorite salad. I miss the first time you handed me a cup of Turkish coffee that you yourself prepared and I remembered how I swallowed it down in one gulp and that lopsided smile you gave me was melting my heart. You were so lovely with that crooked smile, My Darling.
I miss you.
I miss how you made me laugh and for a minute I forgot how to cry over Nizar Qabbaniโs life story. I miss you while slicing up a chocolate cake for a dessert. I miss your hand on my hair, your lips on my hand while driving your car, your dirty pants off on the floor and those bottles of Corona in your refrigerator during weekend.
I still wish of us together in the Paloma Bar and the Bullfrog cocktail has been there with us all the way and always help the night blur and get like legless frog.
Once in a while, I still listen to the Russian songs you did burn for me. I still see you every time I see Antonio Banderasโ hair in the Assassin movie.
But, even how the hell I miss you, I donโt think of going home to you again. Youโre not my home anymore. Iโm not going to stand on your way or chasing pavements. I donโt want to see my mobile popping up your name on its screen. I donโt want to read those overused and abused “I love you” on my mobile’s screen because I realized that it was never used correctly. Please donโt let me see you again. I no longer feel home in you and I donโt feel the word forever in it anymore.
And you know what? Iโm sick and tired of seeing her lipstick mark off along the rim of your coffee mug at home. I hate seeing her Samsung charger that was forgotten on top of your table in the kitchen. Of course, yours is an Apple phone. I hate seeing the traces sheโs leaving on your bed, her things you hid under your things in the drawer and that hickey she always gives on your neck. Iโm so tired seeing you talk to her while Iโm sitting next to you. I hate her photos taken at every corner in your house. I hate seeing that smile on your face while chatting with her. Iโm sick and tired of crying on my couch every night for breaking my heart so bad.
Remember when I had the key to your flat? I used to slip through the crack of the door like a ghost and suddenly sitting down to the edge of your bed. I stopped doing that and I hope you know. I donโt want your body will touch mine again because I know that your heart and your mind are with her. I have learned waking up in the cold morning of knowing youโre not really there next to me.
They said there is always a beautiful world out there and itโs a wonderful feeling to see it with the one you love. Yes, there is a beautiful world out there but none of it will be the same when I see it with the one who truly loves me and it won’t be you.
Iโm not anymore the woman who is easy to love. I have stopped loving you either. We canโt be friends so donโt come back to me anymore. My soul is not yours. The beautiful world we’ve been dreaming of to be a better place to live is no longer for us.
Well, I’m glad you dumped me, by the way. I’m glad our timesย together didn’t last forever. I’m glad that you are happy and enjoying each and every moment of your life without me in it.
I’ve made it, Darling! I’m now over you. Iโm fine. I don’t feel wrecked anymore. I no longer terrified to love someone else. I’ve stopped wishing of you, loving me when I forget to love myself. I’ve stopped crying out for you at 3 A.M during Thursdays. I’ve stopped wishing for impossible things for both of us. I no longer miss you so desperately at nights and when I wake up in the mornings. You’re no longer the best part of my every day and you’re no longer my favorite character in every story I write.
I can think of you with a smile on my face, shake my head and say, “Thanks God, there are guys like him, otherwise this world is such a boring place to live in.” Iโm perfectly capable of taking care of myself now and I donโt need somebody to mother hen me, not even you. I’m now capable of giving my heart to someone else, the oneย who deserves to spend priceless moments with me. I donโt look forward to seeing you again one day. So please, stay away from me.
