The day you walked away, something inside me broke.
Not because I didn’t know it could happen — a part of me always feared it — but because of how easily you did it.
No hesitation. No goodbye that meant something.
You just left, and it felt like everything we were, everything we had built, meant nothing to you.

I stood there, waiting for you to turn around.
To look back, even for a second.
To let me see in your eyes that we mattered, that what we shared wasn’t just a passing chapter.
But you never did. You kept walking, as if I was just another shadow you outgrew.

Do you know what that feels like?
To carry so many memories in your chest that they burn, while realizing the other person carries none of them anymore?
To hold on to every word, every laugh, every promise — and to see that, for them, it was all disposable?

That day, I learned that silence can hurt more than screams.
That indifference is colder than hate.
Because hate at least means you still feel something. But your silence… it told me I was nothing.

I wanted to run after you.
I wanted to grab your hand, to beg you to stay, to remind you of the nights we swore we were forever.
But something in me froze.
Because if I had to beg for your love, then it was already gone.

So I let you go.
Not because I wanted to, not because I was ready — but because I had no choice.
And in that moment, the version of me that believed in us died too.

The day you walked away, I lost more than you.
I lost the person I used to be with you.
I lost the safety of knowing someone chose me.
I lost the belief that love was enough.

And still… a part of me waits.
Not for you to come back, but for the pain to make sense.
For the day when I can look at your memory without feeling the weight of being left behind.

Because no matter how much I tell myself I’ve moved on, the truth remains:
The day you walked away is the day I stopped believing that love alone could save us.

Always and Forever
