I wish I hated you

I never meant to love him in the first place. 

But I didn’t stop loving him…

I just stopped trying to bloom in a place where my heart was always left wilting.

I got tired

of reaching for him 

with hands that always came back empty.

Of whispering my worth to someone 

who never truly listened.

So I let him go. 

Not because the love disappeared-but because I couldn't keep losing myself 

trying to keep him.

I didn't scream. I didn't burn bridges.

I just quietly broke-

the kind of break that lives in the silence between two people who used to know 

each other's breath.

And when I couldn't speak it-

I started to write. 

I wrote him into poems, into pages,

into corners of my soul where he still lived 

…even after he left.

I traced his memory in the margins of my mind, in every place I once felt him and now only feel air….
