Maru

Dear... Maru

 

It's over, and it feels surreal. All of that time we spent together, and we're no longer in contact. Every time I check my phone, I'm reminded that you won't be calling. It'll be okay, though. We'll adjust, and move on. We'll find happiness in someone else, or something else.

I'm sorry I couldn't give you what you deserved, and I'm sorry that you couldn't either. It was all that I wanted for a while: your affection and happiness. We weren't meant to be in each others' future though. I wish that you held onto and cherished me. I would have stayed, if only you genuinely loved me.

I won't lower my standards, though. I refuse to settle, and I won't let myself be taken for granted or used. I won't let it happen, because at least I have genuine love for myself. I know my worth. Even if I can no longer turn to you, I'll manage. I'll adjust and move on. I'll find someone who can love me, and I'll hope for your happiness too.

Just because we weren't meant to be, doesn't mean you weren't meant for anyone else. I hope that I showed you some form of happiness and affection, and that you look back on our memories together fondly. There's not much depth, but it was a welcomed reprieve for us to hold each other.

It might be weird from now on, but I'll always smile upon your memories. I don't regret it at all, even if that time can never be taken back. I learned to grow into a better person, and I'd like if I inspired you to change for the better too.

We're imperfect, but I think that's why people belong together. You need to rely and connect with others, so that they can fill your shortcomings and be your strength.

From... Someone who held your hand
