And after all this time,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHmduHYtF7
I still can’t stop myself from thinking:279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI3xzVVBUX
Where did things go wrong?279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWffGyR0pf
What did I do?
Or maybe…279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7B81tSmZj
Was it ever even about me?
Because if she truly felt uncomfortable,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QdFdz4iWF
if something had changed…279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZCWHizwUt
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.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLqfEqjTud
Love, friendship — anything worth holding onto —279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OPrOAdKav
needs more than just presence.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW2N0pqW8g
It needs words.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKAcz5Qy8P
It needs effort.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQv3l9mEIG
It needs little things,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm9q2ekK0Y
done with heart.
And maybe, just maybe…279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM9BbGuR6v
if she had told me instead of telling others,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHansau5t2
we could’ve found our way back.
But if becoming strangers is what she needs to find peace —279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfA5D8j8w8
if silence is what soothes her better than my presence —279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvDPAL6OkS
then I’ll step back.
Because loving someone isn’t always about staying.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrshs4zY62
Sometimes it’s about letting go,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbGNsCt8rQ
even when you're breaking in half.
I only ever wanted her to be okay.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRbqDjr2hi
Even if it meant losing the piece of myself I found in her.
So I tried to say goodbye.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6XVtjuH9t
Because it was me who started all of this…279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX58x6BidVk
so it should be me who ends it.
I sent her a message.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpgcbmEanW
A quiet farewell wrapped in trembling fingers.
“This is the end,” I said.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jyjMGR2FH
“Let’s stop pretending…”
But I was drowning in thoughts,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqttX2k7qu
while she…
She replied:
"Leave… but delete everything.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IpvknzDZi
Every word, every song, every movie,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5VrNATFFu
everything I ever said to you.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwFbzwAsVY
Completely.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuWw5kZMWy
I don’t know how you’ll do it.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1EDh3PFlF
Do it, then leave.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB8PEABjR6
Or you can’t leave."
And I stood there, shattered.
Because maybe — just maybe —279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuFUXE3wdC
that was her way of saying:279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PUWAjn6YT
“Don’t go.”279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIujN05Im0i
Maybe it was never about deletion.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSqOT2y2Go
Maybe it was her final scream in disguise,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DHWvuSyyJ
a plea wrapped in anger,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAt1QuHLiS
a heartbreak dressed like defiance.
And I couldn’t read between the lines.
Maybe this was right.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwgIKSKhCR
Maybe wrong.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4oLJxbWQh
I don’t care to think anymore.
I stayed —279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aepkhSj9w
hoping I meant something to her.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b0mbEAlWx
Everything.
From the songs and movies279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZNqBK01Ap
to the words and shared silence,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEylXNXxHEr
every little moment,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwyJGh6ibG
every ounce of friendship —279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuixtb308XF
they were enough for me.
And so I wanted to end it.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwigKsZeNe
Before she got the chance to.
Because I noticed the distance.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyINyXI9csO
How she tried to avoid me.
Even if she said she never meant to.
That’s what made me do this.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aYm1yok0a
Because I couldn’t bear to see her like that anymore.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquWpzxxBnn
To be the reason for that discomfort.
As always.
Emotionally,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZBehD8f1n
I wanted to stay.
Intellectually,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGEegbU5s5
I knew I had to leave.
So I punished myself.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuTRS4DnDk
As I always do.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkH45ckLZI
Breaking from both ends.
But if all of this…279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJCjf6aRs0
if everything we shared279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndPeQyJctA
was never meant to be —
Then why,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FRBgL3BNP
why does it still feel so beautiful?
