Drabble: I was hurting so wanted to let go.
He promised me today, tomorrow, the day after and forever.
His promise was very endearing and too good to be true.
However I said no.
He left after that and that's understandable.
Everyone was telling me that I was wrong.
Even my heart does.
I love him of course then they would ask me " then why did you say no? "
I only said " Because it was right to say no "
No one understood me but I knew better.
I knew I made the right choice.
He moved on.
He did it slowly and shut me out.
It hurt bad but I had to take it.
I knew him well and I know I did the right thing.
For him, for me, for the best.
Years passed and he let me in his world again.
He was happier but I felt happier because I knew I did the right thing.
Then one day I found out he found someone else.
He was looking at me, waiting.
I gave him a bright smile and he smiled back.
The time came where he promised her the promise he gave me.
She said yes.
I was the first one to hug them.
The day of his wedding came and he asked me " Why did you say no? "
I answered him truthfully.
Because I love you so much.
We were the meant to be, sure, but I don't think we'd be happier together.
I love you and you love me but we made promises we broke.
And some promises left us scarred.
I thought we wouldn't be happier so I said no.
How do you feel now Ron?
Lighter. Happier.
I know because that's how I feel too
