how it feels to get over you.

setembro 2021

o post abaixo foi a última entrada do meu documento do coração partido. a última entrada foi, caso não tenha sido claro, escrita para outra pessoa. já não me lembrava que tinha sido assim que o documento tinha terminado, mas lembrava-me perfeitamente da história: tinha acabado de me mudar para um país novo, o meu primeiro namorado e eu tínhamos decido acabar com a relação porque ele não queria sair de portugal. e, como qualquer bom primeiro amor, foi o fim do mundo. estilhaçou-me o coração em mil pedaços. demorei meses a recuperar. conheci outra pessoa. passámos uma semana juntos num hotel na noruega enquanto trabalhávamos. o frio que estava na rua era só mais uma desculpa para juntarmos os edredons. ele ajudou-me a perceber que o fim do mundo não precisava de ser necessariamente o fim do mundo. fui ficando melhor. aprendi que amores há muitos. mas, claro, deixei-me ir por algo que parecia ser mais do que era na realidade. e o coração partiu outra vez.
este documento que aqui partilhei com vocês é a história que nunca vos contei. a história de como fiquei com o coração partido antes mesmo que ter acabado de colar todas as peças de volta. a história de como o que já pequeno era, mais pequeno ficou. a história de como as lágrimas que eram tão fortes, demoraram ainda mais tempo a secar. a história de como um amor substitui sempre o anterior, façamos o que façamos, mas como isso nem sempre é uma coisa positiva.
na altura, esta história derrubou-me. mandou-me ao chão. uma e outra vez. demorei mais de um ano a ultrapassar. achei que nunca ia conseguir parar de chorar. achei que nunca ia parar de doer. achei que nunca ia parar de sentir a falta dele, um deles, dos dois.
mas quatro anos depois, olho para esta história e sorrio com carinho. eramos novos. ainda somos, mas eramos mais. o primeiro amor é suposto ser trágico. se não for trágico, se não te destruir, aprendeste realmente o que querias? o que não querias? tornaste-te na pessoa que querias ser por ti e para ti? ou andas a viver na ilusão doutra pessoa? o primeiro amor é suposto ser trágico. no meu caso, também o foi o meu segundo amor. mas o meu segundo amor nunca foi meu. não era amor. não sei o que era, mas ao estilo duma das melhores rúbricas deste blogue, o amor é outra coisa. mas foi o que ajudou a perceber que amores há muitos. a pesoa certa não é só uma pessoa. existem várias pessoas certas. existem diferentes pessoas certas para cada momento das nossas vidas. amores existem muitos, e ainda bem.
às vezes confrontamo-nos com aquelas perguntas parvas do se pudesses voltar atrás, mudavamos alguma coisa? - não sei o que mudava, provavelmente conseguiria pensar numas quantas coisas, mas esta não era uma delas. os amores. o coração partido. a confiança. a auto-descoberta. as borboletas na barriga. amores há muitos e posso ter passado por uns quantos amores que não foram o amor certo. mas foram certos na altura. e guardo-os com carinho. por me terem feito chegar onde estou hoje. vão sempre fazer parte da minha história. amores existem muitos, e ainda bem.

Sometimes i miss you so much that i’m sure it will never go away. 

You’re everywhere. In that plane, in the jumpseat, holding the other end of my trolley, in the crew rest, in the hotel room, on my phone. Everything reminds me of you. I can’t make it go away. It’s been months since the first time i saw you, in that stupid corner at the airport. Two or three days later and you kissed me. It was just a kiss and yet it was so much more for me. I felt so good during that week. Working with you the entire day, sharing the galley, the trolley, the aisle with you. Going back to the hotel with you. It seemed impossible at that time, maybe because in reality it really was – i know it now. But you kissed me. And now you don’t even talk to me. It’s been months since that day and you’re everywhere. And yet here i am, hoping that next time i see you, you’ll kiss me again, even if only for that week. I want that feeling to come back. Those butterflies in the stomach. How stupid can i possibly be? You broke me deep. You’re everywhere. Everything reminds me of you. I miss you so much and it hurts so so much. Why did you have to run away like you did? Why couldn’t we even try? And why am i still picturing you when i never had you. You were never mine. Why does the memory of you have to mess with me up so much? 

There’s a song that says i pick my poison and it’s you. You’re in that song too.

Is this what it feels getting over you? 

It’s been a couple of months now since that day. We spoke a few weeks ago. We were going to meet, spend some days together, fall in love again. And then we decided against it. So now we’re not speaking again. I thought this was just the same old loop happening again and again, but then i kissed another guy. I feel weird writing that to you. Me. Kissing another guy. But i did. And i slept in his bed. And i laid my head in his chest. And i heard his heart beating, the way i used to hear yours. And i kissed him again, the way i used to kiss you. I cuddled him, the way i used to cuddle you. And yet everything felt so different. I was not looking for this. It just... happened. I think. When he first kissed me i thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest. I could hear it beating so strongly. I could feel it beating like it was going to explode. And there i was. Kissing another guy and thinking about you. I guess i’m a cliché. Yes, he was kissing me and i was thinking about you. Suddenly i remembered all your kisses. Every single one of them. And i missed them. Every single one of them. And i was feeling so... guilty... we stopped kissing after a while and, while i was laying in his hotel bed, my back against his chest, his arm around me, his hand playing with mine, his lips placing soft little kisses on my shoulder, i could feel my eyes burning from the tears. That was supposed to be you. That was supposed to be us like we were so many times before. That was supposed to be something we would do only with each other. And there i was, doing the same thing with a different guy. And my eyes were burning. And then, out of a sudden, it was like i could hear your voice, loud and clear, inside my head saying we need time and we need to move on. And so i did. I turned around and i kissed him. I kissed him. And then my heart was not hurting anymore. It was still broken, but no longer hurting. And my tongue was dancing around with his and i thought 

Maybe you were not the only one that could find out how to kiss me,

Why did we have to do this to each other? 

Today i cannot get myself to stop thinking about you. All the songs remind me of you. Your face is so vivid inside my head. I can see every detail of you. I can feel your skin under my hands and i miss you so much. I dragged myself home and still i couldn’t stop thinking about you so i read our last emails. I read the one i sent you 5 months ago today. has it been 5 month already? Why did i have to send you that email? Why couldn’t i just let things stay as they were... was it bothering me that much the fact that you didn’t want to come here that i had to send you away?! And after that email there’s a couple more. Written by you and by me... and i was reading all of them again and it hurts in places i didn’t even know i had... i just miss you so much that sometimes i feel like i will stop breathing. My heart is broken in so many little pieces and when i try to put them all together it just breaks a bit more... and it hurts so much and i miss you so much and everything is so much. 

I just wanted to burry my head in your chest and forget all of this ever happened,

Sometimes i think i’m getting better you know. I can manage i few days without you crossing my mind. But then something happens that makes me think of you and i allow myself to talk to you, thinking you’ll want to talk to me as badly as i want to talk to you. But i am wrong. And i cannot come to convince myself of that. Every-single-time i forget that. I tell myself that we both want the same thing: eachother. But i am wrong. I always am. You don’t want me anymore and you make sure you tell me that everytime, but i keep forgetting that and i keep believing there’s still a chance for this, for us... for the love i though would be forever. Silly me. How could i allow myself to think that something would be forever?! I just wish i could erase the sound of your voice saying i will not get tired of you from my head... it’s so loud and clear... it’s like you’re saying it now. But you’re not. Not anymore. So today i blocked you from my phone, as deleting your number seemed to not to be good enough – i always found a way of going back to believing there was still a chance. So know i won’t read any of your texts, receive any of your calls. Probably there won’t be any anyway. 

You left me, so now i’m trying to leave you as well,

Apparently we’re talking again. It feels weird. You said you would come here and stay with me. That we would make it work. But somehow i’m still waiting to hear you say that you changed your mind and you’re no longer coming. That’s what always happens. So it seems inevitably that it will happen this time too.

I still can’t believe that you’re gone. It’s been more than a week since the day and somehow I still wake up every day hoping that today will be the day you talk to me. The absence of you hurts me in places i didn’t even knew i had, let alone that they could hurt. I told xx about you a few days ago. I also told her that somedays i can barely keep myself together and force myself not to call you. She said that i could call her whenever i feel like calling you. But it’s not the same, we all know. Nothing is the same anyway since that day. I wonder if this feeling – me waiting for you – will ever go away. I just can’t believe that you’re gone. Gone gone. 

I think you took a piece of me when you left,

The day it all started 

Today was the first time I told someone about what happened. It was also the first time i actually though about that. I’ve been all ‘mind over matter’ with this and forcing myself not to think. I still haven’t thought deeply about it. I’m afraid that, when i do, i will start crying and once that happens i won’t know how to make it stop. So for now i’m ok. It’s just a fake ok as i don’t have anything to not be ok for. Funny enough, i remembered that three years ago today you asked me to be your girlfriend. And the though of that hurts more than it should for someone saying she’s ok. The memory of that day, on that bench on the train station – waiting for the train you ended up missing – makes my eyes burn and my stomach turn. I may not be ready to think about what happened, but i’m definitely ready to let go of what it could have been. And thinking of that brings tears to my eyes and makes my heart feel small. So i’m not thinking about it. Not yet. Not for now. I also don’t think i’m ready to let you go. The fact is that you were my best friend for a very long time and i would talk to you whenever i was feeling sad. So we may not be speaking anymore and you may no longer be in my life, but i will write you. And i will keep on writing until it no longer hurts. 

Still yours,
