The Song that is Our Last Straw & The Song of a New Beginning

After our break-up, you chatted me, asking if I was even bothered at all.

I replied that yes, I am greatly bothered. But I have accepted it and now I'm once again open to dating.

You asked how could that be. How could I move on that easily when you now want to die? Do I not what your company or something?

But I shut myself off from the idea. I knew I endured too much disrespect from you and surely you asking that meant you haven't even learned from it.

Still, I replied honestly that I deeply care and feel for you.

Nothing hurt more when I saw your story containing the words.

"Last night for the very first time. You didn't even try to call. Oh, I won't lie. I thought I might die. I couldn't even sleep at all."

But you couldn't expect me to be there for you forever.

Months and years passed and our unresolved ending finally took a toll on me.

I rebranded myself. Dated new people. Stopped rereading our messages. But your ghost still haunts me.

One new year I asked you for closure. I asked for nothing but that. But you made it seem as if I was desperate to get you back. You shamed me for it. For still thinking about you all these years.

Still never gave me an answer. Told me to just give it up.

I cried so loudly. I even drank liqueur without a chaser.

Only when I found this song, my only contribution in this playlist you'd never see, had I been relieved.

Its message brought great comfort to me.

"There is nothing wrong with letting go. It's never too late to say sorry.

We both know in love there's no right or wrong.

Honesty can be difficult but it allows quicker acceptance. Being strong isn't easy.

I'm not completely alright. We both have regrets, but life still goes on.

Love can't be forced. Acceptance takes time."
