Was it easy for you
to walk away without looking back,
to pretend I never existed—
like I was just a passing thought
and not a heartbeat in your story?
Maybe it was.
Maybe disappearing was
the only way you knew how to cope.
But that says everything about you—
and nothing about my worth.
Because I showed up.
Fully.
With love, depth, and truth.
And while you were choosing silence,
I was learning how to rise.
To reclaim my voice.
To hold my heart with both hands
and say—I deserve more.
So no,
you didn’t erase me.
You reminded me
of who I am.
Was it easy for you
to leave without a word,
to let everything we shared
fade like it never lived
in the light of day?
Maybe it was.
And maybe I’ll never understand why.
But I’ve stopped searching
for answers in your silence.
Because I’ve learned—
closure isn’t something you gave me,
it’s something I gave myself.
I felt the weight of your absence,
and still, I chose to grow.
To soften without breaking.
To forgive without forgetting who I am.
You were a chapter,
not the whole story.
And now, with love in my heart
and strength in my steps,
I turn the page.
