🧨 Introduction: This Isn’t Just a Goodbye… It’s the Last Time You Get to Hurt Me
“This isn’t just a goodbye—it’s the last time I let your memory haunt me.”
Yeah, I said it. And I mean every word.
This goodbye letter to my ex isn’t about begging or blaming. It’s about bleeding out the pain I swallowed in silence. It’s my final exhale—the words I never sent, but always wanted to scream. Not to get you back. Hell no. But to finally free myself from the weight of what we were… and what you never chose to be.
🌒 Remember When? The Memories That Still Burn
📌 The Good… and the Wounds It Left Behind
Remember when you used to say, “You’re my forever”?
Yeah, I do. I held onto that like it was scripture.
I remember movie nights tangled under blankets, the way you kissed my forehead like I was your home. I remember thinking, “Damn, maybe I finally found real love.”
But then you switched up.
One day, we were laughing. The next, I was wondering why your smile didn’t feel like mine anymore.
And the saddest part? I still clung to the version of you that existed only in my memories.
🧨 The Betrayal: How You Broke Me Without Ever Saying Sorry
💣 You Didn’t Leave All at Once… You Left Little by Little
You didn’t walk away with a bang. You drifted. Slowly. Quietly.
Until one day, you were right next to me… but I couldn’t feel you anymore.
You ghosted me emotionally long before you disappeared physically.
You lied. You gaslit. You made me feel crazy for asking why you didn’t look at me the same way.
And I—God—I defended you to everyone. Even when I knew you were slipping through my fingers on purpose.
Do you ever wonder how many nights I cried into my pillow, thinking I wasn’t enough?
While you were out there pretending I never existed…
I was here, breaking in silence.
🧠The Realization: I Was Loving a Ghost, Not a Person
🪞 I Was Enough. You Just Couldn’t See It.
Here’s the part that hurts and heals at the same time:
You were never capable of loving me the way I deserved.
I wasn’t too much.
You were just too little. Too selfish. Too weak to love someone who gave you everything.
And I finally get it—I wasn’t in love with you. I was in love with who I thought you were.
With the version of you I created just to survive the emptiness you left behind.
But I’m done rewriting your character to make the story feel good.
You weren’t the hero.
You were the plot twist that nearly destroyed me.
✌️ The Final Goodbye: You’ll Regret This Someday, But I Won’t Be There
🧊 This Time, You Don’t Get to Come Back
So here it is. The goodbye I never got to say.
Not in a text. Not in person. Not in tears.
This is goodbye—for good.
No more waiting. No more wondering. No more excuses for why you couldn’t love me right.
I hope, one day, you look back and realize what you lost.
I hope the silence I leave behind echoes louder than any “I love you” I ever said.
But me?
I’ll be somewhere far away—healing. Glowing. Untouchable.
You don’t get another piece of me.
Not now. Not ever.
