Letting Go of the Love That Hurt Me


I still love you, but I’m letting you go. You know how deeply I’ve cared for you, how many times I pleaded for you to treat me better and love me the way I deserved. But time and again, you took me for granted and caused me pain that left me feeling utterly alone—even when I was by your side. My love for you hasn’t faded, but it’s no longer enough to keep me here. The hurt has become too much to bear, and now, I must walk away from the one who makes me feel so invisible.

I won’t ask for your time or attention anymore. I won’t ask you to hold my hand in front of others or to show me that I matter. I won’t ask for your efforts, your affection, or your understanding. I won’t beg you to be honest with me, to choose me, or to stay by my side. I’m done asking for the love I should have never had to beg for in the first place.

I’m letting you go, my love—not because my feelings have changed, but because I can no longer ignore how unimportant I’ve become to you. Maybe, just maybe, you’ll see my worth only after I’m gone. But by then, it will no longer matter.
