Loss

When you break up with a person, you don't lose just one person.
You lose a lot.
You lose a lot of things, a lot of people.
They take away the moments you spent with them.
They take away that time you put in to build that kind of life.
They take away friends -their friends whom you had started liking and some who had become good friends.
They take away those songs 
you used to listen when you were together.
Those lanes where you used to walk.
Those movies you watched with them. 
And the ones which you didn't but were going to.
They take away the person you had become when you were with them. 
Your identity you had associated yourself with. 
You were theirs for so long- being someone else's was a part of your identity.
They take away those small things you had saved
Now you have no use of the ticket from your first movie 
Or the gift wrappers you managed to save.
They take away those smiles you smiled when someone teased you with their name.
They take away those Facebook tags and photos 
And status updates which are now meaningless.
They take away those tears, because you will never cry for the same things again 
Not for another person.
And with all this they take themselves away
Making sure that you hate some of the things you loved, including them.
