Gabriela

You didn't see how many times I reached for my phone, hoping for a message that would never come, or how I kept typing words I knew you'd never read. You didn't see how I started skipping meals, canceling plans, losing track of days because everything felt heavier without you. You didn't see how listood in front of the mirror, staring at someone I barely recognized someone dimmer, smaller, quieter. A version of me you wouldn't have fought for anyway.

You don't know how many times I almost texted you, not to bring you back, but just to understand why you left so easily.

Why it was so simple for you to let go of something I was still breaking myself to hold onto.

I became a ghost in my own life drifting through days, haunted by memories that refused to die. I carried the weight of conversations we never had and endings you never explained. And the cruelest part? You walked away like nothing happened. Like I wasn't someone you once held, once chose, once called "yours."

While you moved on without looking back, I was left standing in the ruins, trying to gather the pieces of a heart you didn't think twice about shattering. I'm still learning how to breathe again slowly, painfully in a world that doesn’t have you in it anymore.
