And after all this time,68Please respect copyright.PENANABZPsVnWPX9
I still can’t stop myself from thinking:68Please respect copyright.PENANAkkLXGbR9se
Where did things go wrong?68Please respect copyright.PENANADSq6AnH9i7
What did I do?
Or maybe…68Please respect copyright.PENANAG5t4dX3zut
Was it ever even about me?
Because if she truly felt uncomfortable,68Please respect copyright.PENANAd3vn9tr9Iv
if something had changed…68Please respect copyright.PENANAExByLobYtH
why didn’t she just talk to me?
Why did the silence grow louder than the words we used to share?
People aren’t mind readers.68Please respect copyright.PENANAg8Ptz4gRLx
Love, friendship — anything worth holding onto —68Please respect copyright.PENANA3WeJtf7B1Z
needs more than just presence.68Please respect copyright.PENANADEWEYrdvUW
It needs words.68Please respect copyright.PENANAgAOJt096zN
It needs effort.68Please respect copyright.PENANAqDW11TNkdG
It needs little things,68Please respect copyright.PENANAsYHdMFLK1A
done with heart.
And maybe, just maybe…68Please respect copyright.PENANAmlRrZR85rL
if she had told me instead of telling others,68Please respect copyright.PENANAxF8h68MhMa
we could’ve found our way back.
But if becoming strangers is what she needs to find peace —68Please respect copyright.PENANA3f21Fas5Da
if silence is what soothes her better than my presence —68Please respect copyright.PENANA45nTrIhvbB
then I’ll step back.
Because loving someone isn’t always about staying.68Please respect copyright.PENANAwT2OXzWY74
Sometimes it’s about letting go,68Please respect copyright.PENANAO1LbmUjI5l
even when you're breaking in half.
I only ever wanted her to be okay.68Please respect copyright.PENANAZs6YTdInjp
Even if it meant losing the piece of myself I found in her.
So I tried to say goodbye.68Please respect copyright.PENANAPCcSS7Ih8W
Because it was me who started all of this…68Please respect copyright.PENANA3KZHRVQJRT
so it should be me who ends it.
I sent her a message.68Please respect copyright.PENANAJU1fkAhkSh
A quiet farewell wrapped in trembling fingers.
“This is the end,” I said.68Please respect copyright.PENANANZCAloJps1
“Let’s stop pretending…”
But I was drowning in thoughts,68Please respect copyright.PENANA4VLgj4kQKz
while she…
She replied:
"Leave… but delete everything.68Please respect copyright.PENANAH565EQU6c0
Every word, every song, every movie,68Please respect copyright.PENANAMaqBSOeGhL
everything I ever said to you.68Please respect copyright.PENANADXpiU3aF2S
Completely.68Please respect copyright.PENANA5kIB7Ri7hD
I don’t know how you’ll do it.68Please respect copyright.PENANATv8pcDxO09
Do it, then leave.68Please respect copyright.PENANAgKCE2gCFHH
Or you can’t leave."
And I stood there, shattered.
Because maybe — just maybe —68Please respect copyright.PENANAvR7jjxnnts
that was her way of saying:68Please respect copyright.PENANAANYsS75h2t
“Don’t go.”68Please respect copyright.PENANA5yfY5Iia1P
Maybe it was never about deletion.68Please respect copyright.PENANA96hwGts9yP
Maybe it was her final scream in disguise,68Please respect copyright.PENANACAdwzvteDh
a plea wrapped in anger,68Please respect copyright.PENANAYAFlczCSDE
a heartbreak dressed like defiance.
And I couldn’t read between the lines.
Maybe this was right.68Please respect copyright.PENANAJvmYf63KDB
Maybe wrong.68Please respect copyright.PENANAsG8hD3YXt1
I don’t care to think anymore.
I stayed —68Please respect copyright.PENANAzRhoIEQ19A
hoping I meant something to her.68Please respect copyright.PENANAIbJgKEm8P5
Everything.
From the songs and movies68Please respect copyright.PENANAHYu1xEkvI2
to the words and shared silence,68Please respect copyright.PENANACTfo4M0SrH
every little moment,68Please respect copyright.PENANAX4FOLGUnd4
every ounce of friendship —68Please respect copyright.PENANAY1FEbcYyEr
they were enough for me.
And so I wanted to end it.68Please respect copyright.PENANA6TFVMMrmU2
Before she got the chance to.
Because I noticed the distance.68Please respect copyright.PENANAdOENLuc7TM
How she tried to avoid me.
Even if she said she never meant to.
That’s what made me do this.68Please respect copyright.PENANAsLeIkAZpyl
Because I couldn’t bear to see her like that anymore.68Please respect copyright.PENANAR9a3QT4adj
To be the reason for that discomfort.
As always.
Emotionally,68Please respect copyright.PENANAmpzrOhSbQo
I wanted to stay.
Intellectually,68Please respect copyright.PENANAUwuTCJce0E
I knew I had to leave.
So I punished myself.68Please respect copyright.PENANAeXzHvHJtFD
As I always do.68Please respect copyright.PENANAFf1xeb3eTq
Breaking from both ends.
But if all of this…68Please respect copyright.PENANASo5xxIht5U
if everything we shared68Please respect copyright.PENANAarwbswAK8Z
was never meant to be —
Then why,68Please respect copyright.PENANAsBfzZTI6p9
why does it still feel so beautiful?
