The more we don't talk, the more I realize I don't need you at all. At first, the silence felt heavy, almost painful, like a part of me was missing. But as the days pass, I notice that I can still smile. I can still laugh. I can still move forward. I can still live my days without hearing from you. And the more the distance grows, the more I understand that my world doesn't stop without you in it. I'm learning to rely on myself, to find happiness in my own company, to fill the quiet with peace instead of sadness. I see now that the love I was giving away is something I can give back to myself. The more we don't talk, the more I realize I don't need you at all, because I was always enough on my own.
