Picture this, the raw, searing pain that comes from crafting a masterpiece, only for another to revel in its beauty. Imagine being the one who stayed, who weathered the storm when he was at his lowest ebb; you were the one who bore the brunt of his struggles, his failures, his despair. You were the one who sowed seeds of hope in the barren landscape of his life, nurtured them with patience and love, only to watch another reap the harvest.

Now, she gets to bask in the glow of his success, in the warmth of the man he has become, the better version of him. A version that you helped sculpt, chiselled away at with your unyielding support and unwavering faith.

It's a bitter pill to swallow, this cruel twist of fate. The heartbreak is palpable, the sting of betrayal ever-present. It's a story as old as time, of unrequited love, of unrecognized efforts, of dreams shattered and hearts broken. But such is life, a melody of joy and sorrow, of love and loss, of bitter truths and sweet lies.
