Who’s braver? The one who leaves or the one who stays?
Every day, I always ask that myself. Am I brave because I was the one who left? Or I could have been braver if I stayed, instead.
But when will you draw the line between wanting to leave or wanting to stay? Am I a coward for not giving you the option to leave first?
But don’t get me wrong…
Yes, you stayed—but there were those unspoken words that I understood right away: I am no longer wanted.
Yes, you stayed—but you made me feel alone.
Yes, you stayed—but you’re no longer dreaming with me.
And the saddest and the most heartbreaking part?
I left—and you let me.
