I never lost feelings for you.
I just realised you didn't want me, so I gave up.
It wasn't because my heart stopped caring.
It was because it hurts too much to keep holding on something that wasn't mutual.
I had to choose myself even when every part of me wanted to keep choosing you.
I still think about you.
Though not in the way that makes me sad anymore,
but in a way that reminds me of the love I was willing to give.
You'll always have a place in my heart,
but I've learned that love can't thrive where it isn't welcomed.
It took strength to let go, not because I stopped feeling,
but because I realised I deserved to be chosen too.
Moving forward doesn't mean forgetting.
It means accepting I've accepted that we weren't meant to be,
and that my love will find its way to someone who values it just as much as I do.
For now I'll hold on to the lessons not the pain.
