Maybe your "first love" wasn't your first love. Maybe it was your first attachment. Attachment is about dependency and what others can give you because you're empty. Love is about what you can give others because you're already full. Some goodbyes are not ends, but releases.

Red Note With a Line By Ol’ Dirty Bastard
If you read this in red don’t think I didn’t survive. Every day I go
missing: One eyelash at a time or sometimes all at once. & in the
absence of disgrace I walk in & out of rivers & wear my good silk.
My good clean unburnt body dripping in the honey light. I sprout
leaves. I bear fruit & self-sustain. I tread water. I flake the moon for
My boundless hair & another grows in its place. I am sistered but
never again to a dead girl. Nowhere, ever again, is there a dead girl.
Somewhere our words seals; our stitches fall away. Somewhere a
rope turns & our feet never touch the ground. Somewhere a song
plays & names us with each touch of a needle to the shining surface
of its black: i’m hanging out /partying/with girls/that never die
- Safia Elhillo, from GIRLS THAT NEVER DIE
after Danez Smith, with a line by Ol’ Dirty Bastard
