My Life Journey With Him :)

The room was quiet, yet the air buzzed with unsaid words. The kind that hovered like ghosts between people who used to know each other. It wasn't supposed to end this way, but here it was—an ending without closure, a goodbye wrapped in silence.

For so long, one of them carried the weight of love, care, effort, and endless attempts to bridge the growing chasm. Messages sent into the void. Questions left unanswered. The kind of effort that made their heart ache with its one-sidedness.

On the other side, there was silence. Not the comforting kind, but the suffocating one. A silence that spoke of apathy, avoidance, and a refusal to meet halfway. It was this silence that built walls too high to climb.

At first, they thought they'd lost the other. They mourned the love that could have been, the life that might have unfolded. But the truth hit them like a wave on a quiet shore—no, they hadn't lost. They had given, and in giving, they'd found the truth.

Love wasn't meant to echo back emptiness. It wasn't meant to be carried alone. And so, they stopped trying. Stopped reaching. Stopped caring for someone who didn't choose to care back.

It wasn't their loss. It was the other's.
