My almost,
I did my best. I gave you everything I had—my love, my trust, my all. I showed up for you in ways I didn’t even know I was capable of. I waited through the silence, held onto hope when it grew heavy, and believed in something that felt real, even when you couldn’t see it the same way.
But you couldn’t meet me where I stood. You stayed distant while I moved closer, gave less while I gave more, and somewhere along the way, I started losing pieces of myself trying to hold onto you.
Still, I carry no shame in loving fully, even when it wasn’t returned. Loving you wasn’t a failure, even if you were unwilling to meet me halfway. It revealed the depth of my own heart—the way I can care, the way I can give, the way I can stay when things get hard.
I’ve learned now that love isn’t meant to be one-sided. It isn’t meant to feel like begging, waiting, or slowly breaking. Love is meant to meet you, hold you, and choose you just as deeply as you choose it.
So I’m letting go—not because I didn’t love you enough, but because I finally love myself enough to recognize my worth and walk away; enough to stop pouring into something that was never pouring back. And that… that is where my healing begins.
Thank you for the moments we shared—even the hard ones—for they taught me the strength of my own heart.
Goodbye.
