I matter…

For the breadcrumbs he gave me, I gave him my whole heart. For the excuses he narrated, I made the effort seem effortless. For every lie that he weaved, I showcased my honest truths.

The days passed, and once, which was exciting, seemed mundane…to just him. I still kept being curious, being the one pouring all the love, until it felt empty within!

Questions kept crawling in my mind, making me feel nauseous. I cried, I complained, I prayed. Yes, it was only me. He was happily sailing in one of those ships, aka situationships.

It all changed when I realised, I matter!

Love,

Chinmayee
