The One Where I Said Goodbye

 Dear FH,

Yep, I did it. Finally had the courage to break the silence and said my goodbye. I can confirm that I really do love him and myself. I love us both enough to walk away. The love that I have is something so deep that even I didn't imagine myself being able to do so. It was painful and still hurts, but I love myself enough to know that this love is not worth all these pain. 

I am trusting that my walking away would do us both some good. I have come to realize that loving someone does not require me to be there for them all the time. Sometimes, loving someone can also mean knowing when to step away because absence from each other is what you both need. Love should help you grow individually. That maybe, being together is not the answer. That being apart would provide the clarity you both need. That maybe, what you thought was right, wasn't all along. 

Chemistry and connection don't mean a thing if one of you thinks he's better off without the other. 

And maybe someday, someone will come and make all the pain go away. Because then, the love that will come is the right one. The perfect one. The one who will stay.

Hoping you come next,

Your FW
