Why do you still find me
in the quiet corners of my mind?
Why does your name
rise uninvited,
like something I never learned to let go?
Why did you do that to me?
And why did I stay,
mistaking endurance for love?
I called it love.
But love doesn’t break you slowly,
doesn’t leave you questioning your own worth.
What we had
was something
but not the kind that heals.
And still,
when I trace back every memory,
I can’t understand
how something that felt so real
could vanish into nothing.
You broke my heart
in ways I learned to silence.
Now there’s relief in the absence,
but also a quiet disbelief—
why didn’t I see it?
I thought you loved me.
You didn’t.
And maybe the hardest truth is this:
I had to lose you
to finally find myself again.
