I thought older men would understand me⦠but I think I was wrong. š
I donāt know why I keep trying.
Maybe itās the way they carry themselvesā¦
the way they seem calmer, more sure, like they know what they want.
I thought that meant theyād see me too.
But every time I open upā¦
every time I try to show who I really amā¦
they slowly disappear.
Replies get shorter.
Energy changes.
And then one day⦠nothing.
No explanation.
No goodbye.
Just silence⦠like I never meant anything.
And what hurts the most?
Itās not even the rejectionā¦
itās how easy it is for them to walk away.
Like I was just something temporary.
Something to pass time with.
I start thinking maybe itās me.
Maybe Iām not pretty enough.
Not interesting enough.
Not worth staying for.
I keep telling myself Iām enoughā¦
but itās hard to believe that when everyone keeps leaving.
Do I just expect too much⦠or am I really that easy to forget? š„ŗ
