I Needed You To Fight For Me

You walked away like I meant nothing to you. Like we hadn’t spent the last few years our lives together, thinking and planning for the future. This letter is for you, the man that did not deserve my love

Dear “soulmate:”

I’ll always remember the moment when I told you we were done. I remember the sight of you standing right in front of me and acting like I was just another stranger. I couldn’t recognize you at that moment. It felt like I was looking into the eyes of someone that I didn’t know anymore.

I still feel the heartbreak in my chest when all you had to say was “okay.”

Without any fight or dispute. Without even trying to give me closure by apologizing for everything you put me through. You accepted the fate of our relationship like it was normal and expected. You walked away without even a second thought.

You had me wondering if I was crazy. If I was supposed to let go as easily as you had. Are breakups supposed to be this emotionless? Aren’t you supposed to fight for true love?

When I watched you walk away, I pondered upon these questions. I didn’t know exactly what you were feeling, but I knew that it wasn’t what I wanted you to feel. I wanted you to fight. I wanted you to scream. I wanted you to do anything in your power to keep me.

But instead, you walked away like I meant nothing to you. Like we hadn’t spent the last few years our lives together, thinking and planning for the future. Naming our children and looking at houses together.

With one simple word, you broke my heart. Your indifference made me feel stupid. It felt like I was the only one that was committed to our relationship. All of our good moments together felt like lies after I saw how easily you let us go.

It seemed as if I was the only one who had been fighting to stay together. All of the work and effort I had put into our relationship felt like it was meaningless. What had I been fighting for all this time?

As for you, you are now a coward to me for letting me go that easy. I never mattered to you, and you must have never cared about me. You acted like I was a stranger that you weren’t afraid to lose.

But this moment might have been a blessing because it was the moment that I realized I didn’t need you anymore. I don’t need someone who isn’t willing to fight for me. I don’t need a half-hearted relationship and I surely deserve more than that. Things that you cannot provide me.

You were supposed to fight for me, but you didn’t even do that.

If you act like a coward about this, then you’re someone that I don’t need or deserve. But you know what I do need? A real man that will support me wholeheartedly and fight for me when things get tough. And that just isn’t you.

I was so blind to our love that I hadn’t realized until the end that I deserved more. I trusted and believed you when you said you saw a future with me, but I was foolish.

I bought all of your lies without a second-guess. All of the times that we discussed our future children and home, you were lying. Although I could sense deep down that something wasn’t the same, I stayed. But I never thought that my soulmate would let me go so easily.

I thought that these were just minor issues that we could work through together. I never saw this breakup coming. I thought we were a wonderful, healthy couple with a bright future ahead of us. But no, apparently the universe has another plan for me.

But at the end of the day, I’m happy with how things went down. I was spared time in a relationship that wasn’t right for me. From someone that doesn’t deserve my love. You were afraid of our love, and you couldn’t let your fears go.

I don’t need someone like that in my life. I wanted someone who could fight for me through the tough times, but you are not that person.

You never even said that you were sorry. Sorry for how things changed between us and sorry for the way that we ended up. You didn’t even care if I was going to be okay if we broke up. You just walked away from me like I was a stray animal in the street.

You made me feel unwanted, unclaimed and unloved. But I need to thank you for doing that. Because now I’ve realized my own worth and what I deserve. Now I know that you aren’t the one for me and there are no second chances for this relationship.

You never wanted our relationship. You never saw a future between the two of us. You broke down everything that we had built up together and worked so hard to create. Your final word to me spoke volumes about how you truly felt. Although I can’t change how you felt in that moment, I now know that it was for the best.

I’m thanking the universe for saving me from someone as broken as you. Someone who isn’t willing to fight for what’s right and someone who doesn’t want to work towards a future due to their fear of commitment. I know now that it’s better to be alone than to be with someone like you.

You were supposed to fight for me, but you didn’t. With one single word, you shattered any hope I had to remain together with you. And now I know that it’s okay. I hope that one day you look back on our relationship and regret every moment that led us to the end. As for me, I’ll be just fine.

With no love,

The girl who thankfully decided to finally call it quits.
