It didn't end with anger, it ended with exhaustion. At some point, loving each other started to feel heavier than it should have. Not because the love was gone, but because one of them was carrying more of it. One kept trying to fix things before they broke, the other kept assuming things would fix themselves.
Plans were initiated by the same person, difficult conversations were started by the same person, apologies came easier from one side than the other. No one was cruel, no one was intentionally neglectful, but effort stopped being equal.. and love, when it begins to feel like a responsibility instead of a choice, slowly turns into something fragile. There was a moment.. quiet, almost invisible.. when one of them realized they were no longer staying because they felt loved. They were staying because they were used to it. So they ended it before resentment replaced affection before trying turned into begging, before love turned into something that felt like obligation. They didn't break up because they didn't care, they broke up because caring alone shouldn't feel this tiring.

They didn't break up because they stopped loving each other, they broke up because one of them finally realized they were always loving harder, deeper, and more afraid of losing. They were always the one waiting, waiting for a message, waiting for time, waiting to be prioritized without having to ask, and every time they tried to talk about how they felt, it felt like interrupting something more important. It wasn't that there was no love, it was that the love was never fully chosen.. they started noticing something painful; if they stopped trying for just one day, the relationship went silent. No one chased and no one panicked, no one seemed truly afraid of losing them. And that was the moment everything shifted.
Because the most painful thing isn't betrayal, isn't lies, but it's realizing your presence was never a necessity just a habit, they didn't leave because they didn't love.. they left because they were tired of being the only one fighting to keep it alive and the one who stayed behind only understood when the silence finally felt heavy, but by then, the other had already learned the hardest lesson of all: being loved is not the same as being chosen.
