@onlyifknown: falling in love with you was never a mistake. from you, i learned that love doesn’t always ask to be returned. loving someone doesn’t mean they must belong to you. but through you, i came to understand that the purest kind of love was the one i had for myself. all the love and effort i could give you slowly faded. perhaps because there was no return, or maybe because i held on too long, trying too hard for something that never reached back. i denied my feelings at first. no, i never expected to have you but day by day, watching you give your heart to someone else made me ache to be the one you saw with love. my hope wasn’t wrong but it was wrong to let that hope grow when deep down, i knew it was never meant to bloom. there were moments i questioned myself “was it wrong to let go of these feelings?” “is it okay to stop loving you this deeply?” and the answers came quietly, all at once. yes, i am full of love but that doesn’t mean i must always pour it into someone who never once filled my cup in return. i’m allowed to try, but why should i try when it’s never mutual? why fight for someone who was never fighting for me? loving you taught me something valuable i cannot keep treating someone like they are mine when i was never theirs to begin with. i was only feeding someone else’s joy, while slowly starving my own and for that, i’m grateful because loving you showed me that to truly love, i must start with myself and love itself is me. it’s not that i didn’t love you with all i had, i did. but it feels wrong to keep prioritizing a heart that never once chose mine. i, too, deserve to be loved. to be seen. to be fought for. i’ve waited long enough—years, maybe just to be looked at the way i always looked at you. there is nothing wrong with my feelings. they were real. they were simply human but everything has its time and loving you had its time, too, api. it’s not that i don’t want to try anymore but i’m simply too tired to keep holding on to something that was never holding me. #relatable #sadtok

with love, for love.
