And after all this time,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU5L6uTg4x
I still can’t stop myself from thinking:72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAljJews8NK
Where did things go wrong?72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1POYtqS2NL
What did I do?
Or maybe…72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwcvImBO6i
Was it ever even about me?
Because if she truly felt uncomfortable,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNabseafUR9
if something had changed…72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwhZzBOxYH
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.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6wBxE8NXc
Love, friendship — anything worth holding onto —72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu6y8PaJom
needs more than just presence.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOImnhyoMR
It needs words.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwm85vLeY2
It needs effort.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwCuhRUISD
It needs little things,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5roe64PK7u
done with heart.
And maybe, just maybe…72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bN63wxT5i
if she had told me instead of telling others,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOwp6kFqx0
we could’ve found our way back.
But if becoming strangers is what she needs to find peace —72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dS0mxAz1y
if silence is what soothes her better than my presence —72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJEp5aj4Yi
then I’ll step back.
Because loving someone isn’t always about staying.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPDtMW5qw9
Sometimes it’s about letting go,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblobi8ChJL
even when you're breaking in half.
I only ever wanted her to be okay.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ129LGA76L3
Even if it meant losing the piece of myself I found in her.
So I tried to say goodbye.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2SpMilNRh
Because it was me who started all of this…72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1XefagVVn
so it should be me who ends it.
I sent her a message.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7UoLyULVM
A quiet farewell wrapped in trembling fingers.
“This is the end,” I said.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaMKpaPINj
“Let’s stop pretending…”
But I was drowning in thoughts,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ortbNjemn
while she…
She replied:
"Leave… but delete everything.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YLPf1RyZV
Every word, every song, every movie,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q1mvk0Lby
everything I ever said to you.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dnRnJPe7m
Completely.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRZCjdhmSs
I don’t know how you’ll do it.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiCM6e3PG6
Do it, then leave.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q5TDgOcm2
Or you can’t leave."
And I stood there, shattered.
Because maybe — just maybe —72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nFfY6ihtY
that was her way of saying:72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbsPeKGQAi
“Don’t go.”72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYkii983qc
Maybe it was never about deletion.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOfXZZR20B
Maybe it was her final scream in disguise,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX9sWM4WaU
a plea wrapped in anger,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRct0wecOq
a heartbreak dressed like defiance.
And I couldn’t read between the lines.
Maybe this was right.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNMulDItwi
Maybe wrong.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGZGTEsibT
I don’t care to think anymore.
I stayed —72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMpht13hJw
hoping I meant something to her.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiPuUVwAR0
Everything.
From the songs and movies72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKFzT6dP9F
to the words and shared silence,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNiAH4nfp0
every little moment,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDWXTbVLNv
every ounce of friendship —72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcrWFAz6Dp
they were enough for me.
And so I wanted to end it.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdT70rw7jj
Before she got the chance to.
Because I noticed the distance.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh9wDVWcDE
How she tried to avoid me.
Even if she said she never meant to.
That’s what made me do this.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpNBT81C9w
Because I couldn’t bear to see her like that anymore.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEPEtAluT4
To be the reason for that discomfort.
As always.
Emotionally,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytDh66hhtq
I wanted to stay.
Intellectually,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4DMkDhC7v
I knew I had to leave.
So I punished myself.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nQuLuvrME
As I always do.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPpqOy81Tg
Breaking from both ends.
But if all of this…72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bqhs1aPmD
if everything we shared72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIqf5tuO5u
was never meant to be —
Then why,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoOWcKOlai
why does it still feel so beautiful?
