Goodbye to Him, Goodbye to Me

A Windless Goodbye

You waited for him, shedding so many tears. If he truly cared, he wouldn't have let you endure all of that before he came back. He clearly hasn't considered how much you've been through. If he had, he wouldn't have acted so carelessly.

He doesn't finally understand your kindness; he just underestimated your affection back then. You aren't foolish; you were just honest about love. You aren't sentimental; you genuinely believed love could lead to happiness.

He thinks it's easy to come back, but you're done believing. The warmth and confidence he's looking for, you can't and won't give it. You won't indulge his whims or take on his joys and sorrows anymore. He was once the wind, but now he's just a fart.

He won't ever understand that both joy and cruelty can be deeply etched in your heart. He doesn't realize that you're not just saying goodbye to him; you're also finally letting go of your own stubborn self.

Thank you for reading!
