"Unrequited Love: The Pain of Letting Go and Finding Peace"

An endless thought in my brain is slowly killing me with pain: "Why didn't you love me enough? Was my love not enough for you to say yes?" I don't know why I'm still here, waiting, while you're already married to someone you truly love and envision a future with. It tears me apart to see you happy with someone else, yet somehow, it makes me happy too. Nine years with you, and still, you said "no" to my wedding proposal. You couldn't see me in your most serene moments, but you found me in your most broken ones. And now, you find him in both. I understand now. But I hope no one speaks of how much courage I am losing for loving you, even after letting you go. It feels like a knife to my heart, watching you walk down the aisle, knowing you're not walking toward me. The dreams we meticulously crafted together are now being realized with him by your side. It’s like watching a part of my soul being taken away. I wish I could be the breath that begins in your chest, flows gently over your lips, and lingers in the air between our souls. I’ll always pray for you—pray for your dreams, your success, and your safety. Even though it's agonizing to let go, my love for you remains, hoping you find everything you've ever wished for.
