Time really did change everything.

Have you ever not seen someone for so long that you almost feel like they could've never existed? Like they were just one huge figment of your imagination? My ex and I were together for 3 years, and we broke up 2 years ago. Yesterday would've been our 5 year anniversary and I hate that I still associate the date with that. I was trying to remember us, but it almost feels unreal. I haven't seen him since we broke up, not even out in public so it's like he just fell off the earth. That whole part of my life feels like it was a complete dream. Like it never happened and he never existed. Which I guess is...good? It's just so weird. I don't even recognize myself in these memories at all. I can recall perfectly what his skin felt like and his smell and all that, but it feels like something I made up. Time does weird things to memories.
