And after all this time,259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAcLZQ1SzK
I still can’t stop myself from thinking:259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0Zuvdzhu0
Where did things go wrong?259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCdxwDXApW
What did I do?
Or maybe…259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDUykvKZe2
Was it ever even about me?
Because if she truly felt uncomfortable,259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrmmi81Ohe
if something had changed…259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiVnBtCHvQ
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.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq7IJTupXX
Love, friendship — anything worth holding onto —259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTQa3rwSuF
needs more than just presence.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3MVY5MzPO
It needs words.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfP5vF0uZb
It needs effort.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH14UnVz0Ep
It needs little things,259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLcPX3NnHZ
done with heart.
And maybe, just maybe…259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu5OYb9X8C
if she had told me instead of telling others,259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4xSOY5viO
we could’ve found our way back.
But if becoming strangers is what she needs to find peace —259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8vsjTNekT
if silence is what soothes her better than my presence —259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBsOQriZT2
then I’ll step back.
Because loving someone isn’t always about staying.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FFZWNBZVK
Sometimes it’s about letting go,259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S1Kp0m1OJ
even when you're breaking in half.
I only ever wanted her to be okay.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5sStOiT0t
Even if it meant losing the piece of myself I found in her.
So I tried to say goodbye.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJwR7jYUgm
Because it was me who started all of this…259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqeiVJtsC5
so it should be me who ends it.
I sent her a message.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvYIStXty2
A quiet farewell wrapped in trembling fingers.
“This is the end,” I said.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxsHqyuOvt
“Let’s stop pretending…”
But I was drowning in thoughts,259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOfKb0IbhO
while she…
She replied:
"Leave… but delete everything.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYS8d0sD2s
Every word, every song, every movie,259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6fojeEu7P
everything I ever said to you.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV9FB4CkA7
Completely.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybDSiz8vYf
I don’t know how you’ll do it.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl9YgLVEij
Do it, then leave.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP9DVFR4aT
Or you can’t leave."
And I stood there, shattered.
Because maybe — just maybe —259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDJahHASnq
that was her way of saying:259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16eJwnDrca
“Don’t go.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyoYhejoth
Maybe it was never about deletion.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwySGK3oxQ
Maybe it was her final scream in disguise,259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHMxWBOfy9
a plea wrapped in anger,259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY9M0Xw6Ff
a heartbreak dressed like defiance.
And I couldn’t read between the lines.
Maybe this was right.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPQvLSXw3R
Maybe wrong.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQJaz957Lo
I don’t care to think anymore.
I stayed —259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S42E6bCTp
hoping I meant something to her.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMLiMvT6bS
Everything.
From the songs and movies259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ80tmf6lxg
to the words and shared silence,259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdC7IzFHiy
every little moment,259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BvbWhedLE
every ounce of friendship —259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVeDR2BNpg
they were enough for me.
And so I wanted to end it.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeficHwO7au
Before she got the chance to.
Because I noticed the distance.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj27PX1GROI
How she tried to avoid me.
Even if she said she never meant to.
That’s what made me do this.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkvD79y4g6
Because I couldn’t bear to see her like that anymore.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8KE4PRLSv
To be the reason for that discomfort.
As always.
Emotionally,259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxJ4EFMCpS
I wanted to stay.
Intellectually,259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc6zh4ef2n
I knew I had to leave.
So I punished myself.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFigjydK968
As I always do.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgBPYaxSUv
Breaking from both ends.
But if all of this…259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsLPHAZEQf
if everything we shared259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriQoQBDyEm
was never meant to be —
Then why,259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYOLs5d7L4
why does it still feel so beautiful?
