i kept telling myself i wasn't scared of losing them. i just didn't want to regret anything. so i reached out. gave it one more chance. did everything i knew how to do. until i realised i wasn't trying to change their mind. i was trying to make peace with mine. it wasn't hope — it was me needing to know i'd done everything before i could let go.
