I will not wait for you
to regret losing me.
Does the sun wait for
the earth to regret turning?
Does the moon wait for
the night to regret ending?
The sun remains the sun,
and the moon remains the moon.
I will remain myself
with or without
your acknowledge of my value.

there’s a version of me that would’ve saved you. i buried her.
If only you knew how much I cried when I decided to distance myself from you. How I still wanted to be with you. But I knew I couldn't. I don't think you'll ever understand how much it took out of me. You don't know how hurt and broken I was because of the decision I made. The decision to let you go even though I didn't want to but I had to.
I still remember how our first conversation started. I still recall how wide my smile was whenever we talked the way you made me feel safe. That was when I realized I had fallen for you. I loved you more than you ever knew and I feared it. Losing you when I loved you the most was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
It was hard to understand how something that felt so right could go so wrong. Maybe for you we were nothing. But for me we were something. Something that meant so much. Which is why it's so hard to move forward. It's hard to accept because we never even got the chance to truly begin. Yet somehow we still came to an end.
And finally, you didn't reply to my last message, and I didn't send again. We just disappeared from each other's worlds. I used to want to find an answer, but now I realize there's no need for me to ask. Because when I look back, every detail was actually the answer. I don't know what I want anymore. I thought I wanted you, but I'm not so sure now, and I know you will never be mine. It's still like close my eyes, and imagine how beautiful it could be if we were together.
In my imagination, the world seems to pause, and everything feels right. But then reality tugs at my sleeve, reminding me of what separated us. Now I know that some stories are meant to remain untold, and some lovers are meant to linger in the silent corners of our hearts.
Natalie Babbitt, from Tuck Everlasting
I did not unlove you overnight.
No, I unloved you in bits of pieces over time.
I grew a new skin that you could not touch, a new heart that you could never break, and a new soul that you could never corrupt. This is how I unloved you... Slowly, painfully, but with no regrets.
"I like to be alone. I have control over my own space. Therefore, in order to win me over, your presence has to be better than my solitude. You're not competing with another person, you are competing with my comfort zone."
i don't pay attention to the world ending. it has ended for me many times and began again in the morning.
