Even after that day. I didn’t walk away.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcWkrSSTS1
Maybe some would call it foolish, staying when it’s clear the story’s changing.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpJGKrQFnh
But I never stayed for some happy ending.
I stayed because I cared.
And isn’t that what I’ve always done?
From the beginning, I never asked to be her priority.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff1rvxwjXm
I just… wanted to be someone who stayed.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIFC829HFm
Even when the conversations got shorter.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQccMEN49D
Even when the places we used to meet felt emptier.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tyN11VuMB
Even when her smile started showing up beside someone else.
I stayed.
Because true friendship isn’t about keeping someone close.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGcfLwBSvg
It’s about being the quiet presence they can return to — if they ever need.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn97e4gncHJ
No pressure. No expectations. Just… loyalty in silence.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6HczOfb3R

Watching things change without a reason I could point to.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXIfzz61WP
Seeing Ren in the spaces I once filled — yeah, it stung.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplhNleNUSb
But if she’s happy, if her world is lighter because of someone else’s presence…370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPKLQNMh1O
Then who am I to be bitter?
I wasn’t there to own her.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JckOuGEdj
I was there to know her.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImxslXQ14r
And I still do. Even if it’s from a little farther now.
Sometimes, you don’t have to be someone’s everything.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ3ObUCfUW
Sometimes, being someone who understands — who accepts, who supports from the background —370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkju3ucEGJH
That’s enough.
Even in shadows, I chose to stay in her light.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiNcl4i3to
And if someday she ever turns to see who never left —370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuAsZJX0zf
She’ll find me exactly where I’ve always been.
