I Let You Go

I spent so much time hoping you'd come back.

Replaying old conversations.

Reading old messages. Holding on to

memories that stopped meaning

anything to you long ago.

The truth is...

You left long before you actually said goodbye.

Your effort disappeared. Your attention faded.

Your love slowly turned into distance.

And I kept blaming myself for it.

But love shouldn't feel like

begging someone to stay.

So today, I'm letting go.

Not because I stopped loving you.

But because I finally realized I deserve someone

who chooses me the way I chose you.

Some people are chapters.

Not the whole story.

And maybe that's okay.

Maybe losing you was never my tragedy.

Maybe it was my freedom,

 

The saddest part? Sometimes the person

you would fight for forever

wouldn't fight for you at all.
