Some departures happen without words. No noise, no suitcases, no broken plates. Just a moment of silence in which something explodes – not out loud, but inside.
She had everything, but something was missing.
On the outside, it seemed perfect. She had a safe embrace, warm words, a home that breathed with tenderness. But inside, something was quietly dying. Not because of him, but because of herself.An emptiness began to awaken inside her that she couldn't explain, and even though she lived every day with a man who loved her sincerely, she no longer felt it as she did before.
A restlessness grew within her.
It wasn't a lack of attention. His gaze kept searching for her, his hands were always holding her. But that wasn't enough for her anymore. The fear of losing herself awoke in her.She felt as if she were no longer breathing as she once had, as if something was binding her, even though there were no visible chains. This restlessness grew day by day until it became louder than everything else.
A decision that had no explanation
When she left, she had no final words. There were no grand conclusions, just a silent decision. Some would say she ran away. She was running from the silence inside her, from the feeling that she could no longer find herself in this love. With every step she took, she left a part of her heart behind, but she didn't look back.
Love didn't disappear, but it became unbearable.
She still loved him, but not in the way she wanted. Her love was becoming heavy, suffocating, laced with guilt. Every touch of his reminded her that she was cheating on her own feelings.She didn't want to play the role of partner anymore, even though part of her still wanted to. And so she chose silent pain over loud false presence.
What's left?
She left behind a room with the smell of the past, memories that won't disappear with one wash of the sheets. He won't understand why she left. Maybe she herself will never fully understand.
Sometimes love is true, but the soul is not ready. She left when she should have stayed. And she'll have to learn to live with that.
