Found this picture on Facebook. I can relate to it. I used to wait all day for his reply. I saw him online sharing memes, commenting on others' posts but not even reading my text. I used to write him paragraphs and saw him replying with just "o," not even "oh." There are a lot of posts and reels about this. It seems like many people go through this—one-sided love, benching, or situationships. I'm not alone. A lot of people can't move on easily. Memories haunt them like ghosts. It feels like a curse. I know that.
The other person doesn't even care a bit. We know that. Still, we can't accept the truth. We look for signs of their love. We hope maybe they care about us. But they don't. They never did.
From the outside, one can say how stupid this is. But when they put on those shoes, they also feel the difficulty. But we must move on. We can't spend our time thinking about someone who never gives a shit about us.
