I stayed for as long as my heart could take it. I dropped hints, I asked for more, I waited in quiet hope praying he'd notice I was fading. But he didn't. He saw the distance growing, the silence between us, the way my messages got shorter, the way I stopped trying. He noticed it all. yet did nothing. So one day, I stopped waiting and walked away with a heart that still cared, but eyes that finally saw the truth. What broke me wasn't the goodbye it was how easily he let me go. I wanted him to stop me, to fight for me, to prove I mattered. But he didn't. And that's when I realized. love shouldn't need reminders to be felt.
