“All of what I told him was true—some people are just meant to break your heart, as if it were their sole mission here on earth to teach you not to fall in love with the wrong person.

Some people will break your heart over and over again, because some of us never learn”

It rings in a new dawn, one where Harley isn’t the center of my Earth and I’m not the center of his, and just like that, I’m lost. I’m no longer tethered to this man. I’m no longer his future— I’m his past, and he’s mine. But that’s all we are. Ex-lovers. Friends? Maybe one day, but for now are just two people who’ve clung to one another for so long we forgot we weren’t the only two to exist. We forgot we weren’t a whole, but two separate pieces. It will kill me, but I have to let go of Harley Hamilton, because he’s already let go of me. And there is nothing sadder than a woman clinging to a ghost.

"I'll be waiting, Wendy. Second star to the right. I’ll be waiting.”

It’s why I call him Pan. He’s the original lost boy, and he’s always been so damn good at getting me to follow behind him like a lovesick Wendy with Peter.

Harley and I are complicated. We've always been complicated. From the day we met it's been our thing, or maybe it's been our thing, or maybe it's always been simple and we've been the ones to twist it, turn it on it's head and convolute what the rest of the world has already seen. All I know is that there isn't a Rose without Harley or a Harley with Rose.

One day it will be me watching the way his eyes crinkle at the corners brim with tears as I walk towards him. One day, it will be my ring he wears and I, his. One day, I'll marry my best friend. I just need a little time to convince him of that.
