Believe them when they say it’s over, that there’s nothing left worth fighting for. Don’t seek more reasons to stay, or search for loopholes they might have missed. Just leave. Don’t cling to something that has already fallen to pieces. You’ll spend a lifetime trying to put those fragments back together. Just leave. Don’t argue or declare your love, or how much you still want this. Just leave. Your energy is better spent elsewhere, on healing yourself and fighting for someone who will never give up on you. Just leave.

You are not a struggle or someone who needs saving. Just leave. The longer you fight, the more exhausted you’ll become. Just leave. You shouldn’t have to convince anyone to love you, to stay, to see your worth. Just leave. You are not broken or the one who has given up. You stayed strong even as your heart was collapsing under the weight. Just leave.

You’ve been trapped in the cycle of trying to love yourself while loving someone who only knows how to leave. So, just leave. Even if you still want this, still want them, you have always deserved someone who will stand and fight beside you, even when their strength is waning.

Just leave…🙏🏾
