Dear You Who Waited Too Long,
#StuckInTheCycle #AlmostLeft #HeldByHope
You knew.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWat3nocvCs
Long before the final breaking point,309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ayixBYln
you felt it in your chest—309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2SgiHlVdh
that hollow ache of knowing309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLj6kIYJqX
you were no longer truly seen,309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWAUELN7TG
no longer really chosen.
But you stayed.
You stayed because love, in your heart, meant loyalty.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEHgu2ycO1
You stayed because leaving felt like failure.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aea1hSBtV
You stayed because you kept hoping that309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IoaRTf2kJ
maybe one more compromise,309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDxPArDaR5
one more understanding,309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5p2Ao3dA4
one more chance...309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H45s9brUd
would make them love you better.
But all it did was slowly unlove yourself.
I know how exhausted you were—309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51uKAAwYGf
constantly silencing your truth309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dqFgI9hfk
so someone else could speak louder.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ2s73dmyV
Shrinking your needs309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgySkpDbArK
so theirs could be prioritized.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7xi0wfrK2
Clinging to potential309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2cV1FCyRF
instead of accepting the painful present.
But hear me now:309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm9IcZ4O2g
Staying wasn't your weakness.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49eL2Zjezq
It was your proof of heart—309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5DAAzFwC5
how deeply you could believe in someone,309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tncWHxyoQ
even when they didn't deserve your belief.
But you didn't owe anyone your destruction309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBxOv70gu9
just to prove your love.
You deserved to be chosen.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zMTNW2Y1w
Without begging.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIQTrDNoMy
Without bending until you broke.
And even though you stayed too long,309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehzP0wPZvh
you still left.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir0yTLDjO5
Even if it was just internally at first.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx6rEKGGwF
And that counts.
You may have arrived to your freedom late—309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMrbtZ4sAn
but you arrived.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtoXIVRYdy
And that's all that matters now.
