The words I’d just said didn’t reflect how I truly felt at all, not even a little. But I forced myself to say them so everything could end quickly. I didn’t want to hurt myself anymore. Longing for someone, loving someone who doesn’t give anything in return, only makes you feel worthless.
That’s why I chose to say what I did today. Yet, the beautiful woman in front of me remained indifferent, raising an eyebrow and reaching out to pinch my cheek.
“Adorable.”
“What are you doing?”
I brushed her hand away, frustrated. I was being completely serious, but she acted as if I was joking.
“You’ve gotten bold now, haven’t you? Rejecting me? I’m hurt, you know.”
“Oh, really? You’re hurt now?”
I let out a sarcastic laugh.
".... "
“Do you think saying you miss me changes everything? You can’t just come and go as you please. Not everything revolves around you.”
My tone was sharp, and I stared her down, challenging her. Her smile faded as she crossed her arms, growing serious.
“If I miss you, I just say so. None of this has ever been about me. I saw you today, so I came to see you. It’s as simple as that.”
“Well, if that’s all it is, you can leave now. You’ve told me you missed me, and that should be enough.”
“You’re in a bad mood today. I’ll come back another time.”
“No need.”
“I don’t want to see you again,” I said firmly.
“I’m moving on. I’m starting fresh with someone else.”
“With the guy who's with you earlier?”
“No matter who it is, it’s none of your business anymore. So please, let me go.”
I turned to walk into the condo lobby, heading back to my room. But her voice, suddenly serious, made me freeze in place.
“What if I don’t let go?”
“There’s nothing you can do anymore. This is where it ends."
“Even though you still have feelings for me?” she asked, stepping closer and wrapping her arms around me from behind.
“Can you really live without me?”
“I’ll manage. If I can’t, I’ll learn to. People fall in love many times, and I’m ready to start over. I’m sorry,”
I said, prying her arms off me without even looking into her eyes and added.
“You’re only part of my past now.”
Without another word, I walked into the condo, not bothering to look back. I didn’t know what she was thinking, but it wasn’t long before she left quietly.
And as usual, she would disappear, and I would become just another person who passed through her life, just like all the others.
It was a decisive move...
I praised myself for it the next morning as I stared into the mirror. I looked at my own reflection, my tired eyes sunken from lack of sleep. I missed her so much when she was standing in front of me, but I still chose to reject her. I chose to endure the pain now to protect myself in the long run. Everyone gets their heart broken, and everyone moves on. If they can do it, so can I.
