I miss the old you. The one who would apologize for the smallest things, the one who cared so much about making sure we were okay, even if it was something as simple as a wrong word or a quiet moment. I miss how you’d look at me with those soft eyes and tell me you were sorry, even when we didn’t have to be sorry. It’s hard to explain, but those little things meant so much to me. But now? I don’t know what happened to you. Why don’t you care anymore?

It hurts, baby. I can’t pretend it doesn’t. I’ve tried so hard to understand why you’re acting this way, why we’re sleeping apart when we’re not okay. You know how much I hate it. It’s not just the physical distance, but the emotional one too. It feels like we’re both putting up walls, pretending everything’s fine when it’s not. I don’t want that. I don’t want to go to bed angry or upset with you. I don’t want us to just ignore it and act like it’ll go away.

I want to talk to you. I want to call you, text you, hold you and tell you how much I miss you, but I can’t. I feel like I’m walking on eggshells, like I’m bothering you or annoying you by just wanting to communicate. I never used to feel like that with you. You used to be the one who reached out first, the one who always cared enough to ask if I was okay. But now, it feels different. It feels like I’m the only one trying to fix things, while you’ve already moved on to whatever else is going on in your mind.

Please, when you see this, let’s talk. Let’s fix what’s broken between us. Let’s sit down and communicate. I don’t want to lose what we had, baby. I know we’ve been through a lot, but we can work through it. We always could. I love you so much, always remember that. No matter what happens, that will never change.
