Why I Feel Empty Inside?

A reflection on the heart's emptiness after a breakup

Can I feel love again? Will I ever be able to share my life with someone new? Will I feel the excitement of love like the first time? Can I look at someone else’s face without being reminded of him? Can I move on from the past while being with someone else?

Can I love passionately again and lose myself with someone new? These questions keep running through my mind… every time I try to start fresh with someone else… I just can’t.

I burned all our memories together ,our photos, the songs we used to share, his favorite sweater that he gave me, his gifts. I got rid of everything. I don’t even like the food we used to eat together anymore.

I did everything to forget and start anew, but he still lingers in my mind.

How was he able to move on from our past and start a new life with another woman, while I’m still stuck in our story?

I’ve forgotten some of his features, I won’t deny that. I’ve forgotten his scent; it’s not as clear as it used to be… I don’t feel the pain like before… I just feel empty. A person with nothing left to offer someone else. That’s why I always fail to start something new with another man.

How is it that, despite the distance, there are no real miles between us? He’s present everywhere, even from afar. But sometimes I still find myself longing for him and for the days we shared together…

And after all this, the result was as follows: Every time, during my brief conversations with someone new, I end it with the phrase, “I’m sorry, I have no feelings to offer you” ’ And so, the story ends before it even begins.
