Maybe we were supposed to part.
Love that burns like bonfire can never last.
Everton Vila
It flickered to life, wild and hungry as we were inflamed in our deadly attraction.
We couldnt stay away from the dark allure, and the intensity engulfed us.
But then, the fire always dies out eventually.
As much as we wanted it to work, reality reminded us why it shouldnt.
Love like ours was better to be observed from a safe distance.
We were too different, too angry, and too intense to be suited for each other.
Our love was vividly beautiful, explosive, and an emotional ride, but it couldnt and shouldnt last.
I was always left wanting more of you.
And I got what I wished for.
It was good while it lasted, but it drained me mentally and physically.
Perhaps the price just wasnt worth it anymore.
I was tired of the toxicity that kept me chained to you.
I was starting to regain my senses that this wasnt working.
I was wary of a love so difficult, and our relationship was doomed from the start.
Maybe what we had was not love.
But love was supposed to be part of the equation, not the totality of my existence.
Love wasnt merely a feeling but also a careful balance of compatibility and chemistry.
Love wasnt jumping into it blindly and seeing where it goes.
Love requires commitment, hard work, and effort to work through any conflict and issues together.
Love means having the same aligned view and values of the future.
Love means embracing and accepting each others imperfections fully.
Maybe losing you was supposed to be the turning point of my life.
Some losses, although devastating, are actually blessings in disguise.
After we ended, I was very much lost and abandoned.
It seemed that my life disintegrated before my eyes, but I refused to stay defeated.
I met new people and tried to replace our memories with them.
I made bad decisions but grew from my mistakes and learned to stand on my own feet.
I stopped looking for love externally and found strong self-love radiating from within.
I realized what we had wasnt love and was thankful for walking away.
Ending it with you was heartbreaking, but definitely for the best.
