good goodbye!
There’s a kind of love that doesn’t ask for anything. A love that quietly watches, from a distance, wanting nothing more than for someone to be happy — even if it’s not with you. For so long, I’ve carried that love for you, hidden deep inside. Also, I have expressed it in all ways that I can, did you see it.
So here it is: I love you. I always have. I wanted you to know, just once, that my heart has always belonged to you. But I don’t want to disrupt your life or your love for her. I never did.

I’m walking away, leaving you behind in the only way I know how — without bitterness, without anger. I’m not leaving because I’m angry at the world or at fate. But even in letting go, I’ll miss you in ways I can’t explain.
Today is the last time I’ll see you. And maybe that’s the hardest part — the goodbye I never wanted to say. But there’s a strange kind of peace in this. I don’t need you to be mine. I just need you to be happy. And from a distance, I’ll keep wishing that for you. Always.
Goodbye, and know that you’ll always have a piece of my heart. You don’t have to carry it — but I’ll carry the memory of you, quietly, forever.
