An ending I never got but still have to accept
I don’t even know if you ever understood how much you affected me.
You came into my life, and for a moment it felt real. It felt like something was building. I let myself believe in it, I let myself care, and I even fought for it in ways I don’t usually do.
When you disappeared, I was left confused more than anything. Not just hurt, confused. Because there was no ending, no explanation, just silence.
Then you came back after weeks and said sorry. And for a moment, I thought maybe there was still something there, maybe we could talk, maybe we could understand what happened.
But when I finally told you how much you hurt me… you disappeared again.
That second silence hurt differently. It made me realize I wasn’t just dealing with someone who left, I was dealing with someone who couldn’t stay when things became emotionally real.
And I think that’s what I’m still trying to accept now.
I don’t hate you. I don’t even know if I’m still angry. Most days I just feel this mix of sadness and acceptance trying to fight each other. Because part of me still misses who I thought you were before all of this happened.
But I also know I deserved consistency. I deserved honesty. I deserved someone who wouldn’t only show up when it was easy.
I still think about you more than I want to admit. Not because I want you back, but because there’s still no closure in my head. Just unanswered questions that you never stayed to help me understand.
Maybe you were never meant to give me that closure.
So I’m trying to give it to myself instead.
Even if a part of me is still learning how.
