Unspoken echoes of love

Seventh

I envy you.

I wish I had the courage to walk away.

I wish I had it in me to stop loving you,

because the pain is unbearable.

Every day, I feel the weight of your absence,

a constant reminder of what once was.

But maybe if I were you, I would have left too.

I would have done the same thing.

Who am I, after all?

I'm just a part of your past that you chose to leave behind.

And perhaps that's all I'll ever be,

a memory in your story, a chapter you've closed.

But even as I stand here, broken and longing,

I hold on to the love we once shared,

wondering if I'll ever find the strength to let go.
