And the worst part? They never tell you when they lose interest. It just happens. One day, you wake up and realize they're pulling away. Fewer texts. One-word replies. Hours or sometimes days before they respond. Then suddenly, you're not a priority anymore. They'll say that they've been busy. That work has been crazy. They'll apologize for not getting back, but the apology will feel empty. More like a reflex. I mean, they know exactly what they're doing. But they'll still do it again the next day. And the day after that. They won't tell you that they've had a change of heart. They won't say that they no longer want what you both had. And that's what stays with you. Not the silence. Not the distance. It's the way they leave you in the dark, hoping that maybe it really is work. Or stress. Or life. All while knowing that they've already made up their mind. They've already said their goodbyes. Just not to you.
