I stopped reacting...
not because it didn't hurt,
but because I finally understood something-
People don't change.
They just get better at pretending.
So now I watch.
I listen.
I memorize.
Not to forgive-
but to know exactly where it all broke.
You see, I'm not the same person anymore.
I don't chase, I don't explain, I don't feel the need to be understood.
I just become... distant.
And once I'm gone like that,
there's no version of me left for you to come back to.https://pin.it/1ve40C8u6
