I lied

I lied to myself, which led to me lying to you. 

I thought I could manage being in a committed relationship or whatever, but we seem to have drifted apart. I'm sorry to be the bad guy, but I need you to let me go. I'd be extremely selfish if I stayed and pretended to be content with you. I'm not sure if I'm still in love with you, or if I ever loved you at all. Maybe I was completely smitten by you and mistook it for love. You used to excite me, but now being with you feels like a routine or a job. 

It's not even about you deserving more; it's about me deserving more. You didn't work as hard as I did to keep the romance alive once we got together. You exhaust me, I yawn each time I think of you. I roll my eyes every time my friends mention your name. At this point, I should just focus more on my academics and hobbies because romantic relationships exhaust me. I hate worrying about someone else, especially when that specific someone doesn't seem to care about you. I should invest my energy and time into more productive activities rather than a person who does not appear to care. 

I'm tired of being used. You only call me when you have a problem and you rarely check in on me. I wish I had a time machine so I could ignore you the first time we met. Wishing won't solve anything, the best solution for me right now is to leave you forever. Thank you for showing me that I deserve better. Thank you for all of the bittersweet memories. 

I hope that you will find someone who you'll actually care about. Goodbye. 

Best wishes, 

Reeya.
