If Tomorrow Starts Without Me

 

If tomorrow starts without me, I want you to know that I never wanted to leave you. The thought of not being by your side to share in your joys, to comfort you in your sorrows, tears  my heart. But life is fragile, and sometimes we don’t get to choose our goodbyes. If tomorrow comes and I’m not there, please know that my love for you was so deep, so all-encompassing, that even death cannot take it away. It lingers in every memory we made, in every word I left unspoken.

If tomorrow starts without me, I fear the emptiness that will follow, the silence where my voice used to be. I can’t bear the thought of your heart breaking, of tears staining your cheeks because I’m not there to wipe them away. But please, don’t let the pain consume you. It would shatter me to know that my absence brought only sadness. Instead, find a way to live on, to carry the love we shared in a place where it can continue to grow, even without me.

If tomorrow starts without me, know that I’ll never get to see the dreams we talked about come true, and that thought haunts me. We had so many plans, so many hopes for the future, and now I can only watch from afar as you carry them out alone. It breaks my heart to think I won’t be there to share in your triumphs, to laugh with you in the good times, or to hold you when things get tough. But promise me you’ll keep going, that you’ll live our dreams for both of us, and make them even more beautiful in my memory.

If tomorrow starts without me, I know the world will seem darker, colder, and infinitely more lonely. I wish I could stay, to be your light in the dark, your warmth in the cold, but I can’t. The thought of you wandering through life without me, of you feeling lost and alone, tears at my very soul. But even in the deepest shadows, I want you to find the strength to carry on. Let the love we shared guide you, let it be your beacon, and remember that I am always with you, in every step you take.

If tomorrow starts without me, the thought of you moving on, of living without me, is almost too much to bear. But as much as it pains me, that’s what I want for you. I want you to find a way to smile again, to laugh, to love, even when I’m not there to share it with you. It will hurt at first, and I know that pain all too well, but I want you to live—really live—in a way that honors what we had. Don’t let my absence be the end of your happiness; instead, let it be the start of something new, something beautiful.

If tomorrow starts without me, please don’t hold onto regret. I can’t stand the thought of you replaying moments in your mind, wondering what could have been different, what you could have done to keep me here. None of this is your fault, and I need you to believe that. We loved fiercely, and that’s all that mattered. The “what ifs” will only tear you apart, and I don’t want that for you. Let go of the guilt, the pain, and hold onto the love we shared instead.

If tomorrow starts without me, know that I’ll miss you with every fiber of my being. The thought of not being able to hold you, to whisper in your ear, to tell you how much you mean to me, rips me apart. But even in the silence of my absence, I need you to know that my love hasn’t gone anywhere. It’s in the wind that brushes your cheek, in the stars that light your path, in the very air you breathe. Carry it with you, let it wrap around you, and know that I’m never truly gone.

If tomorrow starts without me, please remember that my greatest wish was for you to be happy. Even if it’s without me, I want you to find joy, to find love, to find a way to live that honors the life we dreamed of together. It will be hard, and there will be days when the pain feels unbearable, but don’t let it break you. Live for me, live for us, and when you do, know that I am with you, every step of the way, until we meet again.
