"Tell me the truth, John... If I had told you I loved you back then... would you have stayed?" I should've told him. That I loved him. That I stayed up rereading our chats like they were scripture. That I saved his missed calls, even when I swore I was over him. But I didn't. And maybe that's why he left without saying goodbye. We were never in a relationship. But somehow, I remember him more deeply than the ones I was with. I used to think he ruined me - until I realized... he built a version of me I didn't recognize anymore. Now I'm learning how to let go of someone I was never holding in the first place. This is not a love story. This is the afterglow - what remains when love doesn't stay... but never really leaves.
