I Wished You Stayed 💌

Dear Messy,

I still replay the last moment we saw each other, as if somewhere in that memory I’ll find a version where you stayed.

I wish I had asked you not to go. I wish I had told you how much it was all hurting, how much I was breaking in silence just to make it easier for you. But I stayed quiet. Because love isn’t supposed to beg, right?

But what if it’s not begging? What if it’s just a trembling voice asking the person you gave your heart to... to please not leave it behind?

There are days I forgive you and nights I can’t. Some memories still smile at me, and others that sting like open wounds. But I still go back to them, over and over again, because that’s all I have left of you.

Even now, after everything, I don’t hate you. I just wish you had stayed.

 even in silence

 - Yours, Sakku
