An open letter for the people who come to someone's life but never meant to stay
“Your happiness is my happiness”, as it selfless as it sounds, I’m willing to carry such pain just to see you happy. We were not meant to stay in each other’s lives. We were like intersecting lines, met at a certain point but have to part ways. Probably because we were not meant to cross at all, or maybe we were for a reason?
Loving you was hard knowing that you still have a part from your past with you. The burden of worrying somebody significant might come back and steal you away from me scares me, a lot. Should I distract you? or maybe divert your focus on other things so probably, in that way, you wouldn’t consider going back? But No. your actions tell me that it’s still her. It has always been her.
Now that I have gathered all these courage, I’m ready to pack my emotions for this great change. Change that could either destroy me or make me a better person, or maybe both. So I take step back and stare at you, as you’re slowly finding your way back to her. This time I won’t look away, I need to see that smile for the last time, even if I’m no longer the reason of it.
