@danielj849: My love I'm honestly tired of trying to explain myself over and over again to the woman I love so much. It hurts that no matter what I say, it feels like you've already made up your mind not to believe me. Love isn't supposed to feel like I'm constantly defending myself or proving my truth. But if this is how it has to be, then I won't keep forcing it. If you've decided that I'm not the one who brings you happiness, then I'll step back and let you go. You deserve to find the kind of peace and happiness you're looking for, even if it's not with me. Just know that everything I felt for you was real. I gave you my heart sincerely, and it hurts to walk away like this—but I'd rather see you happy than keep holding on where I'm not trusted or wanted the same way. Take care of yourself, and I truly hope you find the happiness you're searching for.
