You did your best, even when it didn’t feel like enough.
You gave pieces of yourself to someone who couldn’t hold them, and that doesn’t make you foolish; it makes you brave. You loved without conditions, without fear, without a backup plan. And even though it ended, that love still mattered.
This is for you, the version of yourself who stayed up too late rereading old messages, who cried quietly so no one would notice, who thought they’d never feel whole again. You were learning what love is and what it isn’t.

Closing Thoughts
You survived the version of love that broke you, and somehow, you still believe in love that’s the kind of strength most people never find.
Loving someone didn’t destroy you; it taught you who you are when everything falls apart.
You are the message you never sent, a reminder that love begins and ends with the courage to feel.
And this time, when you love again, you’ll know how to keep a little bit of your heart for yourself.
