It shattered me ngl :(
I had already made peace with being alone. Years went by without letting anyone get close, without expecting love to ever find me again. Then he showed up out of nowhere and slowly started giving me everything I convinced myself didn’t exist anymore. The attention, the connection, the feeling of being understood without even trying. He made me remember what it felt like to hope again.
And the worst part is, I let myself believe it was real. I started craving him, craving us, like it was the only thing keeping me alive. For a while, it felt like I had finally found what I’d been missing all those years.
Then one day it was just gone. No explanation, no ending that made sense. Just silence.
And now I’m back where I started, pretending I don’t care, pretending I don’t miss it, while carrying this emptiness around like a ghost.
Then he ghosted me.
