The train pulled away slowly, its wheels grinding against the tracks like the ache in my chest. I stood on the platform, motionless, watching you evaporate into a future I would no longer share. The wind, cold and indifferent, swept across my face, but it was the silence you left behind that chilled me to the bone.
We were never just a moment; we were a melody soft, tragic, beautiful. You taught me how to breathe in laughter and exhale fear. You turned ordinary days into poetry, yet here I am, reciting the final stanza alone.
I did not choose to unlove you no, love isn’t so obedient. But life has a cruel rhythm, and sometimes, even the most heartfelt symphony must play its last note. I carry the weight of you, tucked somewhere between memory and longing, hoping time can be reversed.
Leaving you behind isn’t forgetting. It’s surviving. And while my heart still echoes your smile, I walk away not because I want to, but because love, true love, sometimes means knowing when to let go
