Today, I let you go— not because it’s easy, but because I can’t live in the shadows of almost and what-if anymore. I was your spare time, never your choice. I carried love like a burden you never asked for. But this time, I choose me. Let them watch— I will not shrink to stay wanted. I will not ache to feel enough. Because I am. And I will be more than enough for someone who sees me clearly. This is the ending. But it’s also the return— to myself.
