Every time I tried to write this, I ended up deleting everything.

Not because I didn't know what to say. Because I knew exactly what I wanted to say.

I just didn't know how to say it.

Some conversations are easy. This isn't one of them.

It's strange how someone can slowly become such a big part of your life.

Without realizing it, you become part of someone's routine.

The first person they think about. The first person they want to talk to. The first person they want to tell everything to.

And then one day, you look back and realize how much changed.

How much they changed you.

Some people leave marks on our lives without even trying.

You were one of those people.

That's why writing this hurts.

Because there was never a version of the future where I imagined having this conversation.

Maybe some stories aren't meant to last forever.

Maybe some stories exist to teach us something.

To change us. To shape us. To stay with us.

And if that's true... Then you changed me.

You gave me memories I'll carry for a very long time.

Memories that deserve gratitude. Not regret.

That's why this is so difficult.

Because sometimes letting go is harder than holding on.

And sometimes saying goodbye takes more courage than staying.

Goodbye.

I genuinely hope life is kind to you. I hope you find happiness. And I hope one day, you remember this chapter with a smile.
