That if two people cared enough, they would always find a way back to each other.
I don’t believe that anymore.
Not after what happened.
It wasn’t one big heartbreak,
no dramatic breakup,
no loud ending everyone saw coming.
It was quieter than that.
More complicated. More real.
The kind of story that doesn’t make sense until you’re already hurt.
I trusted someone who kept saying the right things
but never actually showed up in the ways that mattered.
He made me feel chosen without ever choosing me.
He gave me attention
but not commitment.
He gave me words
but not actions.
He gave me hope
but never a place to stand.
And the worst part is,
I accepted it.
Not because I didn’t know better, but because I believed he would eventually treat me the way I treated him.
He didn’t.
There were days he made me feel like I was the only person he wanted. And then days he disappeared completely,
as if I didn’t exist at all.
I kept making excuses for him.
He’s busy.
He’s stressed.
He’ll come back when things settle.
But he always came back on his terms.
And I always welcomed him on mine.
That’s the part that still hurts.
I was loyal to someone who didn’t even know what loyalty meant.
I loved him softly,
quietly,
in the kind of way you’re scared to admit
because you know it makes you vulnerable.
But he loved me in a way that made me question myself.
Was I asking for too much?
Was I being dramatic?
Was I making things up in my head?
He made me doubt my own reality
just by refusing to be honest with me.
The twist is
he never lied.
He just never told the truth either.
And that kind of half-love
is the kind that destroys you the most.
It teaches you to second-guess every good thing that comes after.
It teaches you to expect disappointment before affection.
It teaches you that love is a gamble
you shouldn’t play unless you’re ready to lose.
Now, when someone is kind to me,
I wait for the switch.
When someone says they care,
I wonder if they mean it.
When someone shows interest,
I question their intentions.
I don’t trust love the same way anymore
because the last time I believed someone’s softness,
it left scars I’m still learning how to hide.
Maybe one day I’ll love again without fear.
Maybe one day I’ll unlearn the damage.
But for now,
I move slowly.
Carefully.
Not because I don’t want love,
but because the wrong person taught me
how easily it can be taken away.
