Time moved on but something within me stayed behind caught between what was felt and what was never given a name. Your absence did not arrive loudly. It settled in slowly teaching me that some people do not leave footprints on our lives. They become the ground we learn to walk on. Loving you was never about being chosen. It was about discovering parts of myself I never knew existed. The future I once imagined did not collapse. It quietly unlearned itself and I realized that not all endings are meant to hurt. Some are meant to clarify. There are loves that do not ask to be remembered yet refuse to be forgotten. They live in the way we pause before speaking in the silence we respect in the choices we make long after the story seems over. Now I understand that love is not always proven by staying. Sometimes it reveals itself through restraint through the courage to step back and let another life unfold without us in it. Your happiness exists beyond my reach and accepting that is the deepest form of affection I know. What we shared may never have had a name but it left behind meaning. And that meaning will stay with me long after everything else fades.
