True Goodbyes Are Silent
The older I get, the more I realize that true goodbyes are always silent. Those heated arguments and seemingly irreconcilable conflicts are often not the real reasons for a breakup. On the contrary, many times, breakups occur in the midst of silence.
As I reflect on my past relationships, I've come to understand that true breakups are often silent. There are no arguments, no tears, and no dramatic breakup declarations. It's just that, one ordinary afternoon, you send a message, and he never responds. Not because he doesn't want to, but because you no longer feel the need to ask why he's not responding.
It's as if both parties have tacitly agreed to part ways. No one mentions the breakup, no one cries, and no one is heartbroken. The connection between them simply loosens and eventually disappears. This silent goodbye is often the most heart-wrenching.
I don't know if everyone has experienced this, but I know that silent goodbyes are the cruelest. They don't give you any reason, any excuse; you simply find yourself suddenly separated from the other person. There are no signs, no warnings. You just suddenly realize that you're no longer each other's person.
