the less we talk, the more i realize i don't actually need you. at first, your silence hurt me. i kept waiting for your message or even the smallest effort from you. but as days passed, i slowly got used to your absence. i started finding peace in my own company again. i handled hard days without running to you. little by little, i realized i was actually doing fine even without you. truth is, distance helps you see things clearly. not everyone you miss is meant to stay in your life forever, and not every goodbye is something you should fight to keep.
