Baba, I think this might be one of the hardest messages I’ve ever had to write to you, because for the longest time I kept convincing myself that somehow, some way, we would find our way back to each other. I kept holding onto that little bit of hope because letting you go completely felt like accepting that four years of my life, four years of loving you, choosing you, fighting with you, forgiving you, laughing with you, making memories with you and imagining a future with you had really come to an end. Even after two years apart, a part of me still looked at you as my person. Maybe that sounds stupid after everything that has happened, but feelings don’t disappear just because a relationship ends. Sometimes the relationship ends long before the love does, and I think that’s what made moving on from you so difficult for me.
I’ve spent so much time thinking about what I could have done differently. I’ve replayed conversations in my head, remembered arguments I wish I handled differently, thought about words I wish I never said and moments where I wish I had loved you better. There were times when I blamed you, times when I blamed myself and times when I blamed everything around us. But eventually you reach a point where you realise that constantly searching for someone to blame doesn’t change what happened. We were young, we made mistakes, we hurt each other, we loved each other, and somehow through all of that we became a massive part of each other’s lives. I’ll never pretend those four years meant nothing just because we didn’t get the ending I wanted.
I think one of the hardest things for me to accept is that sometimes you can love somebody with everything inside you and still have to let them go. Love doesn’t always mean holding tighter. Sometimes loving somebody means accepting that you cannot keep asking them to choose you. I’ve tried. Allah knows how much I’ve tried. I’ve swallowed my pride, opened my heart, said things that made me feel completely vulnerable and held onto hope longer than I probably should have. And I don’t regret loving you like that because at least I know I didn’t walk away wondering whether I could have tried harder.
