Some people choose the easy path, the path that is more convenient for them without thinking about how that would make the other person feel. They choose to avoid and forget, to leave without a goodbye, to end things overnight. What hurts more than them walking away is how they chose to do it. They decided not to have the difficult conversation, not to look you in the eye and tell you why, because that would be too hard for them. They disrespected you, made you feel like it was all worth nothing, and that's what it takes the longest to get over. The fact that all that time they said they loved you, but when the time came, they chose the path that felt more comfortable to them, the path that they knew would leave you more heartbroken than ever.
