You were always very intentional with your words. “I have love for you” instead of “I love you”. Maybe that’s why I took your “I can’t talk right now” and “I’ll reach out whenever I feel ready” as a promise of when, not if. I think my leaving may have said something different but I hope you know staying would’ve been the most selfish thing I could’ve done. We could never rebuild while I watched you fall in love with someone else. Maybe it’ll be different next time. We always said we’d be in each other’s futures and I’m still holding out for that. I hope you are too.
