You\u2019ve called\u2026
But no one\u2019s picking up.
You\u2019ve sent messages,
Words full of hope, full of heart,
Yet, the silence is the only thing that speaks back.
And it\u2019s not once, not twice,
It\u2019s every time you reach out,
Trying to prove they matter in your world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And quietly, you\u2019ve been pleading,
Not with your words, but with your actions.
Hoping they\u2019d notice your presence,
Hoping they\u2019d make room for you,
Or at least, meet you halfway.
But how long can you stretch yourself
For someone who won\u2019t lift a finger?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe it\u2019s time,
Time to pause.
To stop chasing those who wouldn\u2019t take a single step toward you.
You can\u2019t hold on to someone
Who treats you like an option,
While you treat them like a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And here\u2019s the harsh truth,
You can\u2019t shield someone from pain
When they\u2019re the reason you\u2019re hurting.
Why catch their arrows
When they\u2019re the one aiming for your heart?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know you care.
I know you\u2019ve given your best,
But you deserve more.
More than half-hearted replies,
More than being the only one who tries.
You deserve to be valued for who you are,
Not just for what you bring to the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love,
Real love,
Is not a battlefield where only one side fights.
It\u2019s not begging for time or attention.
And if they can\u2019t see your worth,
Stop wasting your energy proving it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Letting go isn\u2019t easy,
I won\u2019t lie to you.
Walking away from someone you once held dear
Feels like leaving a part of yourself behind.
But isn\u2019t it lonelier to stay where you feel invisible
Than to walk alone and find peace?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take a step back,
Even if it\u2019s slow, even if it hurts.
Unhook yourself from spaces
Where your presence is taken for granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And when you do,
You\u2019ll realize something powerful:
You were never asking for too much.
You were just asking the wrong person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, start today.
Bit by bit, piece by piece.
Because you will manage.
And one day, you\u2019ll see,
Letting go wasn\u2019t losing.
It was making room for something better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And you?
You\u2019re worth every bit of that better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
