Watching Someone You Love Walk Away
The intensity changes. The feelings are forced to shift. The relationship is altered.
When your favorite person starts losing interest and slowly drifts away, they begin seeking happiness elsewhere — somewhere that no longer includes you.
I tried to fix things, but we were different.
My POV: Fixing the problem.
Your POV: I am the problem.
But the more I tried, the more I ruined everything.
To you, I was nothing more than an unresolved issue, one that needed to be discarded.
There’s nothing you can do. You can beg, plead, even kneel to the ground, but if they’ve made up their mind to leave, they will leave.
All we can do is watch and wait for the inevitable moment when they finally walk away. And in the end, all we’re left with are memories, remnants of what we once were. When you no longer see a reason to stay, you start distancing yourself, pulling away, and making silent preparations to leave.
It hurts, doesn’t it?
This isn’t about pride. It’s about the pain of being ignored and abandoned. And once I start feeling that way, I become the one to create the distance, no matter how close we once were.
It hurts like hell, doesn’t it?
But let’s hold on.
I feel guilty for telling myself to stay strong.
For asking someone who fights every single day just to keep going.
But I must.
Because enduring the trials of humanity is the only way to receive the reward of the divine.
