i lost my interest. your absence doesn't hurt me the way it used to. my heart isn't waiting for your attention anymore, and the feelings i once held are slowly slipping away. my happiness no longer depends on you. i don't check my phone hoping it's your name, and i don't sit there wondering what you're doing. i stopped waiting for you to come back. little by little, i've accepted the distance between us, and im okay with it. for the first time, i'm choosing myself and protecting my peace. because when your heart finally understands its worth, it stops chasing people who never truly saw it from the very beginning.
