Deserved fr. I have never seen a man have the balls to fix a relationship before. I'm saying this from experience.

You love how constant things are.
Everyday, the same thing will happen. A kiss for your lover in the morning then work until the last rays of sun can be seen and return to his arms at night.
You hate change.
Hate how his eyes don't hold the same love for you. He stops talking to you and asking how your day was. Body turning away from you whenever you try to hug him, an excuse always slipping from him.
You stayed for love.
Fixing things as if it'll turn back the same but cracks have already appeared and you couldn't do anything but watch.
Everything happens so suddenly, like you're floating but drowning at the same time.
His words gripping your heart so much that even breathing hurts.
But a fool you are, hugging him and trying to make him stay with you. Words of affection already spilling from you, shame and dignity already thrown out of the picture. Everything for him to love you again.
Hope was in your eyes when he turned around until a stinging silence greeted you.
For a brief moment, you believed that you could still save your love for him.
No tears escape from you as you cradle your burning cheek from being slapped. As the realization of everything dawned on you, your pitiful form kneeled against the floor. You felt everything all at once, while he stands there stunned.
Shaking hands tried to reach for you but you backed away from him like a cornered animal.
"I'm so sorry,... I didn't - I'm so sorry (Y/N). Please let me hold you. I'm so sorry love I didn't mean to, please"
"You slapped me?" you asked, still in denial that the man you spend all your years with can hurt you so much like this.
"I'm so sorry (Y/N), I don't know what got into me-"
"You're right" you look at him and for the first time you feel calm, like the final piece fitting into the puzzle.
"This relationship's not gonna work. I can't force myself to you if you don't love me anymore"
"That's not true, I still love you (Y/n). Can we just talk about this?"
Picking yourself up you removed the ring he had given you and handed it to him. Already done being the one who keeps this relationship alive. You're tired in fighting for his affection everyday as if his love was limited to only acknowledging your presence alone.
"Stop this (Y/n), put this back right now, what are you doing?!"
Everything was clear now, as if you'd been suddenly brought to light.
Love is not enough to save the both of you and this was the last straw to give everything up. So you let it all fall.
"Don't please, no you can't do this! (Y/n)!"
"I love you! Please! Just... just stop. Let's talk ok? (Y/n)?"
You didn't turn back, even if he tried to call for you, just as how you imagined he did in your dreams once upon a time when you're still naive, stupid, and hopeful.
Packing your belongings as quickly as you can, not wasting anymore time as he begs for you stay like how you beg for him earlier.
Regret fills him as he watches the only thing that matters to him walk out of his life, unable to stop you because he has already hurt you so much that the least he can do is to let you go.
He stood helplessly by the door, wishing you'd return and love him again, but you didn't even once look back.
