Jared Welch :
It’s okay, Jayna. I love you, and a part of me probably always will. But I’m not going to sit around waiting for you to come back. Deep down, I know there’s a chance you never will, and as much as that hurts, I have to accept it. So I’m going to keep moving forward. I’m going to find myself again, get my spark back, and become the man I know I can be.
Maybe we were never meant to be forever. Maybe God brought us back into each other’s lives for a different reason. Maybe you needed someone to remind you of your worth, to help you find the confidence that got lost after everything you went through before me. Maybe you needed someone to love you the way you deserved so you could find yourself again.
And maybe you were my lesson too. Maybe you came back into my life to help me heal wounds I never fully dealt with, to teach me things about love, trust, patience, and letting go. Maybe you showed me parts of myself that I needed to work on, and maybe that’s why our paths crossed again.
If, somehow, one day you decide to reach out, I’ll be there with open arms, but I’ll also be grounded. I won’t take you back so easily because you left when I was willing to stand beside you and wait while you got yourself back on track. The only version of you I could ever welcome back is one that’s grown, changed, and ready to put in the same effort that love requires.
Right now, I don’t want anyone else. I can’t bring myself to talk to someone new. I’m still too attached to you, to us, to all the memories we made together. But I’ll keep moving forward, even though a part of me doesn’t want to. Because sometimes loving someone means accepting that they may not be part of your future.
No matter what happens, I’ll always be grateful for the time we shared. Maybe we weren’t meant to stay, maybe we were only meant to teach each other something before continuing our own journeys. If that’s the case, then I’ll carry the lessons, cherish the memories, and trust that God has a plan bigger than the one I imagined for us.
