Peace

I have wrestled with whether I should even write this. For months, I’ve carried the weight of what we shared, of what was lost, and of all the words I never got the chance to say. There is a part of me that has held on, hoping for clarity or a moment of reconnection. But the silence has grown, and with it, the understanding that I may never get that from you. So I’m choosing now to give myself that closure, even if it hurts to do so.

Our time together meant the world to me. It was real, and beautiful, and full of meaning. I saw you. I chose you. And for a while, I believed we were building something lasting. I felt like I had finally been chosen in return. You made me feel loved in a way I hadn’t known before. That is not something I will ever forget, no matter how much pain followed.

But your absence has echoed louder than I expected. The promises, the memories, and the way things ended have left scars I’m still learning how to understand. There were things I needed to hear. There were things you needed to return. And yet, I never heard from you again. I don’t know what kept you from reaching out. Maybe fear. Maybe avoidance. Maybe something else entirely. But the silence said more than words ever could.

It has taken me a long time to accept that love, no matter how deep, does not always mean someone will stay. And that sometimes, people walk away not because we weren’t enough, but because they are running from their own things.

I am choosing now to let go. Not because it is easy. Not because I no longer care. But because I deserve peace. I deserve to reclaim the parts of myself I gave so freely. And so do you.

If you ever look back and wonder, know that I loved you. I meant every word. And I truly hope you find the healing, clarity, and love that you seek in this life.
