You begged him to stay,
because your heart wasn’t ready to break.
You held on,
thinking love could fix what was already gone.

He begged you to let him go,
not out of anger,
but because he had already left in his heart.
He was tired—
of pretending, of holding back the goodbye.

You cried,
hoping your tears would change his mind.
But he sighed,
because he had no more words to give.

And in that quiet moment,
you both knew:
loving someone
doesn’t always mean they’ll stay.
