Denouement

I would love to meet you again
To hold you and shower you with kisses

To laugh at your jokes

To be there for you

and hear your stories

But I have decided to love myself more

and keep walking

forward

no matter how much my heart breaks

So many missed opportunities

So many times when you could. have. let. go

Yet you held on

thinking NO WAY 

No way I would ever know

Well I found out

and those things that you did

they were not nice

You probably enjoyed

the thrill of the chase

the attention you got

the care/ love you gave

the messages and the replies

the outings 

the happiness they gave you

the support you gave them

You casually said that they were friends

but friends don't message friends like that, do they?

No more than friends, you insisted

That you have let them go

There is no (more) love between you & them

but if you wanted to rekindle the love, you could?

and if you messaged them, they would reciprocate?

regardless of my feelings 😔

My tears flowed freely

I had spoken up so many times

but you had dismissed these concerns

as many times as I had brought them up

And here we are

Awkward

Silent

Angry (well, mostly me)

Sad (mostly me too)

I do wish you every happiness

I do not fully understand what happened

but I guess I understood why they happened
