But

You never stop waiting for him, did you?

But, you knew from the start how he's better off without you. Happier, growing into a better person, growing further away from you. And that's what you always feed yourself, and made it into your bitter reality.

But, your heart still skips a bit when your phone lights up and there's still a sinking feeling when it's not him who texted you. You're still waiting. You'll always be waiting.

But, he won't come back.

And you know it.
