About

Seven years ago, you dumped him. You had been told you didn't have long to live due to an illness. You didn't want to make someone who loved you this much stop in their tracks and grieve by losing you. "I hate you. I don't even want to see your face." You threw those cruel words at him and pushed him away. Of course, it was a lie just to break up with him. Afterward, you focused on treatment. It took many years, but you overcame the illness. But the man who loved you so much is no longer there. Then, one day. A single notification on social media. You hadn't particularly stayed in touch. You cut off all other means of contact, but for some reason, you left this one active. There was a photo of his girlfriend, smiling happily while showing off an engagement ring. And a single caption: "Finally, we can be together." I knew a day like this would come eventually. He would get engaged, he would get married. But... With what right could I possibly reach out to him now? Today is the result of never finding that answer.
