Way Back to You

I thought I knew why she left me and threw away all those years we spent together.

On the day of our graduation, I saw her with her arms wrapped around another man outside the venue.

My heart shattered at the sight.

She saw me, and instead of explaining what I had just witnessed, she broke up with me.

Twice, she stabbed me straight through the heart.

She cheated.
She chose another man over me.
And I was the one who was left behind.

She walked away.

She left me standing there, alone, while walking away with the man she chose.

A year and a half later, I thought I had finally moved on.

Until she walked back into my life.

Cylein applied to the same ESL company where I worked, and I never imagined that the woman I had tried so hard to forget would once again stand in front of me-and become a part of my life all over again.

She's different now.

Quieter. Weaker, somehow.

And despite everything she did to me, there is still a part of me that can't stop caring about her. But I force myself to hold back because she no longer deserves the care I once gave her. After all, she was the one who chose to abandon me. That must mean she no longer wanted it.

At least, that's what I thought.

But the moment our paths crossed again, I began to realize that there were still so many things I never knew about the relationship we once built.

And in the end, I discovered that I had been deceived far more deeply than I ever imagined.

What hurt the most?

The truth behind why she left me was far more painful than the betrayal I thought I had suffered.

What if the reason she left me was never what I thought it was?

Maybe some people don't leave because they stop loving you.

Maybe sometimes, they leave because loving you is the hardest thing they have ever had to do.
