there’s a specific kind of heartbreak that comes from realizing you were the only one fighting. voices is for the people who stayed loyal, hopeful, and forgiving, while the other person had already moved on in secret. you weren’t naive—you were just in love. and there’s nothing shameful about wanting to believe in someone you cared for. but once you see the truth, you don’t unsee it. you just grieve the version of them you created in your head… and then slowly, you let go.
