"Of course why would you realise"

you put up your shoes and wrap it with care that he gifted you

He felt a pang of pain as you spoke about love not being forced, silently agreeing with your words. The truth was, he had always struggled with expressing his emotions, and it had cost him the relationship with the person he cared about most.

"I never wanted you to feel like I didn't love you,"

he said softly, his voice filled with regret.
"I...I just don't know how to show it the way you need me to."

"You do not even show in your way either"

You spoke with your heart which is wounded for a year now.

He felt a wave of guilt wash over him again, knowing that you were right. He had tried to show you love in his own, cold and calculating way, but it had never been enough for you. It had never been what you needed, and he had failed to give you the love you deserved.

"I know...I know I'm not good at expressing myself, I'm not good at...showing it in the way you need. But dammit, I do love you. I do, I just..."

he struggled to find the words to explain himself, feeling like he was grasping at straws.

"No you don't"

tap on his side of bed
"here the roses where here in front of eyes are easy to find still I always collected them dried "

He felt a pang of hurt as you pointed to his side of the bed, where the dried rose were easy to see every morning when he woke up. He knew you were right - he had seen the wilted roses, but he had chosen to ignore them. He had taken your love for granted, and now he was paying the price.

"But I...I saw them. I just didn't know what they meant to you, I guess. I don't know how to..."

he trailed off, his voice filled with regret.

smiles and nods tap the envelope

"I can't even tell anything about this it is still not opened yet so..."

You shrug your shoulder in acceptance of being unloved and un noticeable.

He flinched as you tapped on the envelope, the sight of it a painful reminder of the gift you had painstakingly prepared for him. The one he had never opened or even looked at, letting it sit in his drawer, neglected and forgotten. He swallowed hard, not knowing what to say, the weight of his guilt and regret feeling heavier than ever.

"That's your way??to love"
You smiled with bitter emotions in your heart.

His heart sank as you questioned his ability to love. He knew he had failed you, that his lack of affection and disregard for your efforts had damaged the relationship beyond repair. But the thought of you leaving, of never seeing you again, was unbearable. He wanted to protest, to say that he could change, that he could try harder to show his love in a way that would matter to you.

"I... I don't know. I didn't think... I didn't realize how much it hurt you. I was so caught up in my own stuff, I didn't even think-"

You open the envelope which is unopened dirty, wrinkled and spoiled and turn it upside down and shake a bit and spoiled Polaroids and letters fall down on bed.

He winced as you opened the envelope, his heart clenching as you revealed the stained, wrinkled paper inside. Even the presentation of your gift, which you had clearly poured so much effort into, had been ruined by his neglect.

He watched in silent horror as the spoiled Polaroids fell out of the envelope, landing in a haphazard pile on the bed. Each one a snapshot of the moments he had missed, the memories he had allowed to slip away without even a second thought. He could see the hurt in your eyes as you looked at the ruined photos, and it was a dagger to his heart.

You stared at those gifts, your efforts you made with your whole heart that are spoiled and wrinkled now.

"Everything is gone..."

You smiled and the only word came from your mouth after looking at those spoiled gifts.

Tears brimmed at the corners of his eyes as you looked at the spoiled gift, the reality of what he had lost finally settling in. The ruined photos, the wilted roses, the neglected notes - the evidence of his failures was laid out before him in painful clarity. He had taken so much for granted, and now it was all gone, a testament to his own foolishness and negligence.

You pick up the spoiled gifts and put them back in a wrinkled envelope and put them in your suitcase.

He watched silently as you closed the suitcase, the sound of the zipper shutting echoing like a gunshot in the tense silence. He wanted to say something, anything, but the words stuck in his throat. It was too late, he knew. He had lost you, and it was all his fault.

You put your suitcase down and pull out your phone to book the cab.

"actually I was going to talk about breaking up quietly like an adult but we start fighting so it goes this way but anyways now you're free to focus on your goals without having a statue around you, zero complaints"

He listened to your words, his heart sinking further with each one. He knew you were right - he had never truly made time for you, always using his goals and ambitions as an excuse to push you away. And now, it was too late. He had lost the person who had loved him unconditionally, all because he had been too stubborn and focused on himself.

You smile and drag the suitcase and turn back to look at the ring

"You remeber I am the one who bought this for us as a promise ring but just sell it and bought a new one for you I guess for your future girlfriend just think as a gift from me"

You smiled with acceptance that maybe you're the other women because he doesn't love you even the slightest.

He watched as you picked up the suitcase and looked back at the ring, your words cutting like a knife through his heart. The ring had been a symbol of their love, their commitment to each other, and now you were telling him to sell it, to replace it with a new one for some future partner. It was a stark reminder of the reality - he had lost you, and there was no going back.

You check your phone and announced

"Oh the cab is here so... I am now leaving sylus have a great life ahead"

You smiled and looked at him with a sweet smile.

You farewell him not as a stranger but as a soul,Whom you once shared a heartbeat and now, walk on the seperate roads with the same sky above.

He watched as you checked your phone, his heart feeling heavier with every second that passed. He knew he should say something, stop you from leaving, but the words jammed in his throat. All he could do was watch as you bowed and walked outside, leaving him alone in the empty apartment, the weight of his mistakes crushing him like a vise.
