I have been up all night .
I can't stop thinking about all that's happened yesterday.The wonderstruck expression on your face when I had kissed you, morphed into panic when I ran.
It was almost like a fairy tale.
Where the princess leaves her prince waiting & runs away.The only difference being,
I'm not a princess,
You're not a prince,
And life isn't a fairytale.These past few days, I saw parts of you that I didn't know existed.
And it made me realise that you were nowhere near the guy I thought you were, the guy I use to love.
You were not perfect.
We were not perfect.
The idea of us was not perfect.I had made up my mind.
So , I messaged you and asked you to meet me in the park.
Our park.There, you were watching me carefully, as if afraid that I would kiss you and run away.
Again.And then I told you what I had called you here for, hoping that I will never regret it in the future.
I told you I didn't care anymore.
It was a lie.
Maybe I didn't love you anymore but I still cared.
I think I always will.
At least a little bit.
You almost didn't believe me at first but I'm sure you did when I started walking away.
How funny that just two months ago, the person walking away was you and not me.
But now our roles were reversed.
And as I kept walking,
you never once tried stopping me.I was thankful for that.
Not because I didn't want to turn around but because I knew that if I did and saw the broken expression on your face, I would run back to you and hand you my heart.
If you could end a year of us for something as silly as a high school reputation, what's the guarantee that you won't do it again for something even worse?
I didn't want to leave but I had to.
For me.Because even thinking about being broken by you again, hurts.
So, I guess this is where our story ends.
In the same place where it had begun.
And the truth be told :
Caleb, you were my anaesthetic, the only thing that could help me breathe and take away the pain while I was drowning in the flood that you had caused.
But now the flood was over.
And I finally learnt to breathe on my own again.
So,
I let you go.•••
