after that message, i'm trying so hard not to bother you anymore. not because i don't want to, and not because i don't miss you, but because i know silence is the only thing i can give now. i already said what i needed to say. i already reached out more than enough. i already showed how much i cared. but now, i don't want to keep forcing myself into your life if i'm not really wanted there. it hurts, but i have to accept it. if you wanted to reply, you would have. if you wanted to stay, you would have. and since you didn't, i'll take your silence as my answer.
