"I think if heartbreak could speak then it would probably say something like: ‘Hey, I’m here. I’m always visiting someone, even if it isn’t you. I matter more than you think. You’re hoping I will leave sooner rather than later but I am valuable. I am necessary. I am proof that you risked losing it all. I am proof that you loved well. I am proof you were vulnerable. I am proof you tried.’"
