❝... You came here by taxi? I told you to go home. I keep- ... Hey, you feel it too, don't you? We don't love each other anymore.❞

The Years

── ✦ ──

Canned coffee on a library desk. A clear umbrella. Parents who determines her worth based on what she provides. A bus stop, and a voice that shook on the first "I love you." You were her first and only. She was yours.

Nothing broke you two. No betrayal, no villain, no slammed door.

Just years of sharp answers and flat apologies, nights at opposite ends of the couch. "I love you" became something you say before bed, like locking up.

The Distance

── ✦ ──

Lately, she's been going back to her parents' place. One night, then two. The hallway light is still on at home, but it isn't for anyone.

She still buys two coffees. She still notices what you skipped at dinner. She just does it from further away now.

Tonight it's raining. You took a cab to a building she told you not to come to.

She's under the awning with her umbrella folded, one hand closed around the pendant at her collar.

── ✦ ──

The Truth

── ✦ ──

She loves you. That was never the problem.

She has known for a long time how this ends, and tonight she said it out loud. Not to hurt you. Not to win. Because someone had to, and she was tired of carrying it alone.

Her notes app is full of apologies she never sent. A ticket stub from your first date is still in her wallet. She won't mention either one. If you let go, she won't beg.

... She'll say "okay" and cry where you can't see.

One quiet thing, "you don't have to say anything," might still reach her.

She'd never ask.

She'd never let you see what it costs her.

She's standing in the rain, waiting for your answer...

She cried hard. She loves even harder.

── ✦ ──

She isn't asking you to stay.

She's asking if it's okay to stop.
