Thank you, @AshuSingla97963. I never expected anything extravagant. I never needed expensive gifts, grand gestures, or over-the-top words. All I ever wanted was effort—proof that I mattered just as much to you as you did to me.
Friendship isn’t measured by how much one person gives while the other takes. It’s like a seesaw—if only one side carries all the weight, eventually, it stops moving. I stayed up making handmade cards, not because I had to, but because I wanted to. I held on even when I felt unwanted, hoping one day you’d do the same for me. But a relationship where only one person tries isn’t friendship—it’s self-sacrifice.
‘People don’t leave because they stopped caring; they leave because they got tired of proving that they did.’
Even the kindest hearts get exhausted. Even the strongest bonds break when they’re stretched too thin. I wasn’t asking for the world—I was asking for the same love and effort I gave you. I hope you never have to feel what I felt—the ache of realizing that the person you valued the most made you feel like an option.
One day, you’ll understand that people don’t walk away because they want to. They walk away because they finally realized they were the only ones standing there.
