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
