Communication is not just about talking, it’s about understanding, listening, and making the other person feel heard. It’s the lifeline of every relationship, the bridge that keeps two hearts connected. Without it, small misunderstandings turn into distance, and silence starts to replace love. People don’t stop loving each other overnight; they just stop feeling understood. That’s how even the strongest bonds slowly fade, not because love ended, but because communication did. So, talk before it’s too late. Listen before they stop trying. Because once silence takes over, words can’t fix what’s already broken.

You never say anything when it actually matters. You stay silent when words could have saved something, and when you finally do something, it’s always too late. So tell me, what should I believe your silence that hurts, or your actions that come when everything’s already broken? Because by the time you finally care, there’s nothing left to care about.

It scares me to think how bad my life would have been if I would have still been with you. When I was with you, I was losing my peace, my smile, my confidence without even realising it. And that’s why without you, I feel a sense of relief. But when I look back now, it hurts to realise how much I was ready to tolerate for someone who was never good for me, even when they kept using me.

I don’t even care about your existence anymore, forget about what you think about me...That’s how far things have gone. It’s not hate, it’s just peace after too much pain. It's relief after too much restlessness.... and that's because you stop caring how much you love someone if they make you feel like they don't even care about it...

Silence may avoid fights, but it builds walls. At first, it feels like peace, no arguments, no tension. But slowly, that silence turns into distance. You stop explaining, they stop asking, and one day, there’s nothing left to say at all. The connection fades, not because of anger, but because both hearts stopped trying. Sometimes, silence doesn’t protect a relationship; it ends it quietly. So talk, even when it’s hard. Because honest words heal more than unspoken ones ever will.

Our fights scare me now. It feels like love is getting lost in between all this. I feel like now we fight more than we talk. And one day, we might stop talking completely. Not because we want to, but because silence will feel better than talking. And that thought breaks me.

I could have forgiven you. Honestly, I would have, because I understand we all make mistakes. But what I will never forget is how you shoved all the blame onto me and declared yourself the innocent victim.

When you are not their priority, you will always get excuses. They will act busy, they will act confused, they will act tired, they will act indifferent they will act everything except being honest with you. And even after this treatment if you continue to be with them, then you are the one teaching them that your time, your love, your presence doesn’t need respect.

Yes, I fail at missing you… but don’t mistake that for love, because that’s just out of habit. The truth is, I don’t even want to remember you anymore. Not your face, not your voice, not the version of me that tolerated you. You were a chapter that felt right, but it was a disaster. But now that I’ve grown, I’ve changed, I know the reality… I see you for who you are. So if forgetting you is slow, that’s fine. One day, even your memory will realise it is no longer welcome here.
