I never lost feelings for you. I just realised you didn't want me so I gave up. It wasn't because my heart stopped caring. It was because it hurt too much to keep holding onto something that wasn't mutual. I had to choose myself even when every part of me want to keep choosing you. I still think about you though not in the way that makes me sad anymore, but in a way that reminds me of the love I was willing to give. You'll always have a place in my heart. But I have learned that love can't thrive where it isn't welcomed. It took strength to let go. Not because I stopped feeling but because I realised I deserve to be chosen too. Moving forward doesn't mean forgetting, it means accepting. I have accepted that we weren't meant to be and that my love will find its way to someone who values it as much as I do. For now, I'll hold onto the lessons and not the pain.
