And after all this time,329Please respect copyright.PENANAbgl0Z1yNMn
I still can’t stop myself from thinking:329Please respect copyright.PENANAEjh5wDt3Kl
Where did things go wrong?329Please respect copyright.PENANAirAIPHjRZF
What did I do?
Or maybe…329Please respect copyright.PENANAALADLk0VsN
Was it ever even about me?
Because if she truly felt uncomfortable,329Please respect copyright.PENANAIF8H88A0UN
if something had changed…329Please respect copyright.PENANANFEAczQfQ4
why didn’t she just talk to me?
Why did the silence grow louder than the words we used to share?
People aren’t mind readers.329Please respect copyright.PENANAe9mVxuqIX5
Love, friendship — anything worth holding onto —329Please respect copyright.PENANAPnlmn2lX8H
needs more than just presence.329Please respect copyright.PENANAjCWg7vGlHY
It needs words.329Please respect copyright.PENANAgCq7YQpTr5
It needs effort.329Please respect copyright.PENANApPK6kctYcv
It needs little things,329Please respect copyright.PENANAdsP7Rvi81v
done with heart.
And maybe, just maybe…329Please respect copyright.PENANA301nAyt6Aa
if she had told me instead of telling others,329Please respect copyright.PENANAOpHiuwGtT3
we could’ve found our way back.
But if becoming strangers is what she needs to find peace —329Please respect copyright.PENANAEP9BKCFBw4
if silence is what soothes her better than my presence —329Please respect copyright.PENANARGkdDyABP4
then I’ll step back.
Because loving someone isn’t always about staying.329Please respect copyright.PENANANiJArgb5Tf
Sometimes it’s about letting go,329Please respect copyright.PENANANBhUY6eN6E
even when you're breaking in half.
I only ever wanted her to be okay.329Please respect copyright.PENANAEjrf6DWlcr
Even if it meant losing the piece of myself I found in her.
So I tried to say goodbye.329Please respect copyright.PENANArp2POxskZw
Because it was me who started all of this…329Please respect copyright.PENANARHX5hN7Nix
so it should be me who ends it.
I sent her a message.329Please respect copyright.PENANAo1WLBvhzao
A quiet farewell wrapped in trembling fingers.
“This is the end,” I said.329Please respect copyright.PENANASKRCOUd6tC
“Let’s stop pretending…”
But I was drowning in thoughts,329Please respect copyright.PENANAhKUxFvEYMk
while she…
She replied:
"Leave… but delete everything.329Please respect copyright.PENANAqp9XD9MLIA
Every word, every song, every movie,329Please respect copyright.PENANAkpIwIcs6w2
everything I ever said to you.329Please respect copyright.PENANADTxQnS8klh
Completely.329Please respect copyright.PENANAhdPwAEzZic
I don’t know how you’ll do it.329Please respect copyright.PENANAVCqdAZudqv
Do it, then leave.329Please respect copyright.PENANAro4qF3M8yJ
Or you can’t leave."
And I stood there, shattered.
Because maybe — just maybe —329Please respect copyright.PENANAis5Iel5o3T
that was her way of saying:329Please respect copyright.PENANArslnnIXcrh
“Don’t go.”329Please respect copyright.PENANATWuNARHDOd
Maybe it was never about deletion.329Please respect copyright.PENANAODimlVd9Pu
Maybe it was her final scream in disguise,329Please respect copyright.PENANAOgCbj5yO4t
a plea wrapped in anger,329Please respect copyright.PENANADEAue2sOmN
a heartbreak dressed like defiance.
And I couldn’t read between the lines.
Maybe this was right.329Please respect copyright.PENANA5rzKuiG7ZD
Maybe wrong.329Please respect copyright.PENANAQo2PytjS5k
I don’t care to think anymore.
I stayed —329Please respect copyright.PENANAkNXJGyDwhW
hoping I meant something to her.329Please respect copyright.PENANAK4BPHbpRFg
Everything.
From the songs and movies329Please respect copyright.PENANAsDmgzt5haK
to the words and shared silence,329Please respect copyright.PENANASpYjXqr59g
every little moment,329Please respect copyright.PENANA5uycNqQ1Wt
every ounce of friendship —329Please respect copyright.PENANAjj0Ru2v4ST
they were enough for me.
And so I wanted to end it.329Please respect copyright.PENANAhzd83x3jSy
Before she got the chance to.
Because I noticed the distance.329Please respect copyright.PENANAUnUZIPtKVf
How she tried to avoid me.
Even if she said she never meant to.
That’s what made me do this.329Please respect copyright.PENANAlCMMbh9dlS
Because I couldn’t bear to see her like that anymore.329Please respect copyright.PENANAJuSCk5APQ6
To be the reason for that discomfort.
As always.
Emotionally,329Please respect copyright.PENANAp5HlLsjGQ9
I wanted to stay.
Intellectually,329Please respect copyright.PENANAFriJzWl4yO
I knew I had to leave.
So I punished myself.329Please respect copyright.PENANAI4bGh3yc2u
As I always do.329Please respect copyright.PENANAr809yq7ifY
Breaking from both ends.
But if all of this…329Please respect copyright.PENANAuCGy2JGxYj
if everything we shared329Please respect copyright.PENANAF4JUmrMzLr
was never meant to be —
Then why,329Please respect copyright.PENANA9WEfEV1dDR
why does it still feel so beautiful?
