⚽

You’ve always known that saying goodbye is the hardest part. But there are some farewells that pierce deeper than others, and this one feels like it might tear you apart.

The sun is setting over the Mediterranean, casting a warm, golden hue across the city. You stand at the edge of a small, secluded park, the kind where the laughter of children mingles with the rustling leaves.

Ferran Torres stands beside you, his face a mix of sadness and determination. You've shared countless moments here—conversations about dreams, hopes, and fears, but today, it's different. Today, you both know this is the end.

“Do you remember when we first met?” Ferran’s voice breaks the silence. His gaze is distant, as if he’s replaying those memories in his mind.

“I was so unsure of everything, and you were this beacon of certainty.”

You nod, a lump forming in your throat. You remember that day vividly. He had been bright and full of life, a young star with the world at his feet. You had seen him then, as someone special, someone who brought light to everyone around him.

But now, that same light seems to be dimmed by an unspoken burden.

“You’ve always been there for me,” he continues.

“But I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. I know that what we have, what we could have, isn’t enough. Not anymore.”

The words hit you like a cold wave, and you shiver despite the warm evening. You want to argue, to tell him that things can change, that you both can fight for what you have.

But you see the resolve in his eyes, and you know that this isn’t just a fleeting decision.

“I wish I could be the one for you,” he says, his voice trembling.

“I wish I could promise you forever, but I can’t. I know that deep down, I’d only end up hurting you. It’s not fair to you.”

Tears well in your eyes, but you fight them back. You understand what he’s saying. Ferran’s heart is in the right place, but he’s also being brutally honest.

He knows he can’t offer you the stability and commitment you deserve, and he’s trying to be kind by letting you go.

“It’s never easy to let go of someone you love,” he adds, his voice barely above a whisper. “But sometimes, doing the right thing means making the hardest choice.”

You look at him, trying to memorize every detail of his face. The way his eyes reflect the fading sunlight, the way his lips curl into a bittersweet smile. You want to hold onto this moment forever, but you know it’s time to say goodbye.

“I hope someday you can understand why I’m doing this,” Ferran says. “It’s not that I don’t love you, because I do. It’s just that I can’t be what you need.”

You nod, trying to process his words. It’s hard to accept, but you know he’s speaking from the heart. You both stand in silence for a moment, the weight of the unspoken words hanging between you.

Ferran steps closer and takes your hand, his touch gentle and reassuring. “You’ll find someone who can give you the kind of love you deserve,” he says softly. “Someone who can promise you the forever I can’t. I hope you find that.”

As the last rays of sunlight disappear behind the horizon, you let go of his hand. You realize that this farewell, while heart-wrenching, is perhaps the kindest thing for both of you.

It’s not just about parting ways; it’s about allowing each other the chance to find the happiness that’s been elusive.

With a final, lingering look, Ferran turns and walks away. You watch him go, feeling a mix of sadness and relief. The park, once a place of joy and laughter, now feels like a silent witness to a painful but necessary ending.

You take a deep breath, trying to calm the storm inside you. As you walk away in the opposite direction, you know that despite the pain, this is a step towards a future where both of you can find what you truly need.

It’s a painful goodbye, but sometimes, it’s the only way to move forward.
