I Finally Let Go
For a long time, I thought letting go meant giving up.
I thought it meant I didn't love you enough.
So I held on.
Even when conversations became shorter.
Even when the distance grew wider.
Even when I felt myself becoming less important in your life.
I kept telling myself that things would get better.
That if I loved you hard enough, we'd find our way back.
But love isn't supposed to feel like convincing someone to stay.
Love isn't supposed to feel like constantly proving your worth.
And one day, I realized something:
I wasn't afraid of losing you.
I was afraid of accepting that I already had.
That's when I stopped chasing.
Stopped waiting.
Stopped hoping for a version of you that no longer existed.
And for the first time in a long time...
I felt free.
