And after all this time,88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEKLhLUFk1
I still can’t stop myself from thinking:88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSDz5JMYny
Where did things go wrong?88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoErO5P0E7P
What did I do?
Or maybe…88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnPT73SSy5
Was it ever even about me?
Because if she truly felt uncomfortable,88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrgCTRXdug
if something had changed…88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEeygSqG89
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.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ60qrGGfFk
Love, friendship — anything worth holding onto —88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKTjRtxinE
needs more than just presence.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiILBk7NyzD
It needs words.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrlqghSbVA
It needs effort.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XyMwhVban
It needs little things,88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NW0LKKgWk
done with heart.
And maybe, just maybe…88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYhO1kbUZf
if she had told me instead of telling others,88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhOyZTSk5v
we could’ve found our way back.
But if becoming strangers is what she needs to find peace —88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XX2DjPo7T
if silence is what soothes her better than my presence —88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPwzypcJjf
then I’ll step back.
Because loving someone isn’t always about staying.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIxU4Bkj51
Sometimes it’s about letting go,88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBUXX4jktp
even when you're breaking in half.
I only ever wanted her to be okay.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SLkUpklCh
Even if it meant losing the piece of myself I found in her.
So I tried to say goodbye.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM2Z49hbiJ
Because it was me who started all of this…88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYaxhSYwDH
so it should be me who ends it.
I sent her a message.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyiqvU1SYF
A quiet farewell wrapped in trembling fingers.
“This is the end,” I said.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhbQxstArM
“Let’s stop pretending…”
But I was drowning in thoughts,88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDpVdHuRD4
while she…
She replied:
"Leave… but delete everything.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRRIXQSNND
Every word, every song, every movie,88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms4REQMDhB
everything I ever said to you.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99MEzhx1ji
Completely.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMF2gVa8hV
I don’t know how you’ll do it.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3Sr6fldkU
Do it, then leave.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC3Sk3oFQr
Or you can’t leave."
And I stood there, shattered.
Because maybe — just maybe —88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbL1JpYb7S
that was her way of saying:88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2rCI0yWix
“Don’t go.”88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTfR5i17Mq
Maybe it was never about deletion.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3J3cdK5O1
Maybe it was her final scream in disguise,88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR4DcdeeUm
a plea wrapped in anger,88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J0Oxin1PK
a heartbreak dressed like defiance.
And I couldn’t read between the lines.
Maybe this was right.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6u4dvoWKz
Maybe wrong.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmVieT1IXE
I don’t care to think anymore.
I stayed —88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVm9cJRpbh
hoping I meant something to her.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IhHv5R5QM
Everything.
From the songs and movies88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5vRSaYDNT
to the words and shared silence,88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP8o4XOn8j
every little moment,88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgEYtISAMr
every ounce of friendship —88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM78H6xWttS
they were enough for me.
And so I wanted to end it.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQNoZAffcx
Before she got the chance to.
Because I noticed the distance.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeAPdzCT4w
How she tried to avoid me.
Even if she said she never meant to.
That’s what made me do this.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzIcnhcI6K
Because I couldn’t bear to see her like that anymore.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AHw3AiuNv
To be the reason for that discomfort.
As always.
Emotionally,88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKFxCJwGVs
I wanted to stay.
Intellectually,88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSpXYFmxoQ
I knew I had to leave.
So I punished myself.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kuy8meqte
As I always do.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPNiLJ1Mb5
Breaking from both ends.
But if all of this…88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTxm77xk8t
if everything we shared88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX9vCT72AZ
was never meant to be —
Then why,88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3lrqenrCF
why does it still feel so beautiful?
