⎯ Albert :
Sometimes the person you love the most is not the one who stays, but the one who teaches you what it feels like to be completely seen… and still not chosen. They become your favorite memory and your deepest wound at the same time. You give them everything—your time, your patience, your loyalty, your quiet understanding, even the parts of yourself you promised you would never offer again—and still, it is never enough to make them stay.
And what makes it worse is not just their leaving… it is how easily they can leave. As if everything you shared was just a moment for them, while for you it became a whole chapter you can never reread without breaking a little more inside. You start to question yourself in the silence they left behind—was I too much, or not enough? Was I temporary from the very beginning, while they were always meant to be permanent in my heart alone?
Like IMU, distant and untouchable, they remain in your life like something you can feel but never reach. No matter how loud your heart screams for them, they stay quiet, unmoved, as if your love was just background noise in their world. And that silence hurts more than rejection ever could—because at least rejection is clear, but indifference feels like slowly disappearing while still being alive in the same story.
And the most painful part is this: you don’t stop loving them all at once. You stop little by little. In every unanswered message, in every one-sided hope, in every night you convince yourself “maybe tomorrow they’ll care differently,” you lose a piece of yourself without even noticing. Until one day, you wake up and realize you survived someone who never even tried to hold on to you.
But even then, love doesn’t leave you empty—it leaves you changed. Broken in places you didn’t know could break, softer in places you thought would turn cold, and wiser in ways only pain can teach. And someday, when your heart finally stops looking back, you’ll understand that they were never your forever… they were only the lesson that hurt enough to lead you toward the one who will finally stay, and never make you question your worth again.
