There’s a particular kind of man who mistakes avoidance for power. Who believes that disappearing absolves him of explanation. That silence rewrites the narrative in his favour.
It doesn’t. It just reveals him.
You were not complicated. Not conflicted. Not deep. You were simply unwilling — and too weak to say so out loud. So you chose the quiet exit, hoping it would look like mystery instead of what it really was: a lack of substance.
You overestimated your impact.
What you left behind wasn’t devastation. It was clarity. The kind that strips illusion clean away and leaves something almost clinical in its place. No anger. No longing. Just the undeniable recognition that I misjudged you.
You weren’t rare. You were convenient, briefly interesting, and ultimately forgettable.
And the silence you offered so freely?
It’s been returned. Permanently.
