After days of silence, he finally responded.
Maybe it was my last message that reached something in him. Whatever it was, he repliedāand that alone means something.
His message? Honest. Gentle. But still, it stung. Heās seeing someone now.
Yeah⦠it hurts a little. Okay, more than a little. Knowing he has deep feelings for this personāsomeone who isnāt meāit pulled at something inside me.
But at the same time, Iām grateful. Grateful that he was honest with me. That he didnāt leave me wondering. I respect him for following his heart, even if that path doesnāt include me the way I once hoped.
I took a deep breath after reading his words. And I held onto the memoriesāthose chats we used to have, those fun, endless conversations that felt like home for a while. They meant something to me. They still do.
So no bitterness here. No regrets. Just a quiet thank you for the moments we shared.
And a sincere wishāfor him and the person who now holds his heart. I wish them happiness. Truly.
As for me, Iāll carry on. A little stronger, a little softer. And maybe, in time, my heart will find its own someone too.
