People keep asking me… “Again?!”
Fair question.
Cherry and I have split up before, and somehow we always found our way back to each other. But at some point, you get tired. Not angry. Not bitter. Just tired.
Tired of trying to force something that keeps choosing a different path.
I still have love for her. I probably always will. There’s no hate here, no drama, no need for sides. Just the reality that sometimes love is there, but the relationship doesn’t fit the way you hoped it would.
I’ve always believed relationships shouldn’t feel like constant work. Life is already hard enough. Yes, relationships take effort, but if you are always fighting to be chosen, always trying to hold together something that keeps slipping apart, eventually you have to ask yourself if you’re fighting for love or just fighting your own fear of letting go.
She’s with her family in the province now, taking care of her son and her mom. She told me she’s met someone who makes her happy, and honestly, I want that for her.
That doesn’t mean I disappear. I’ll still be there for her when I can. I’ll still help where it matters. Caring about someone doesn’t just switch off because the relationship changes.
Sometimes loving someone means accepting that your place in their life looks different than you imagined.
No hate. No bitterness. Just life, and moving forward.
