When I was aching, you said you ached more.
But pain shouldn’t be a competition.
You speak of the weight of your decision,
days after walking away—
but you never saw the weight
I carried the moment you let go.
You say it’s for the future—for both of us,
but what future survives when one gives up?
If you’re asking whether you made
the biggest mistake—YOU DID.
Not just by leaving,
but by expecting me to wait.
