Niko, you broke my heart!💔 I don't know if I ever want to see you again, but now I just can't. We both know why. I could have handled you not liking me (I’ve done it before, and you know it), but I cannot handle that, as my friend, you chose to play with me without taking responsibility for all of this.
You knew I liked you, and I knew you liked me, even if you never told me. I also know why you didn't find the courage to pursue me. You were scared because you didn't know where all of this would lead....because we were colleagues, and because if it didn't work out, our friendship would be ruined, and you might lose me from your life. But is it better now? You are going to lose me from your life without ever knowing what would have happened if... And you will lose me not because you didn't choose me (which honestly hurts), but because while you were flirting with me, you got together with someone else—and the worst part is that you 'forgot' to tell me. And you forgot it not out of fear of hurting me, but so you wouldn't lose what you felt when you were with me.
Even now, I can't believe you did all that just to feed your ego, even though the 'evidence' points to that. It is truly a shame, because I held you in such high regard. I always had such beautiful feelings for you and felt such wonderful things around you (safety, respect, care). However, I now recognize that everything I felt for you or around you was actually parts of my own self. So, I am taking it all back now!
Unfortunately, I don't have anything positive to wish you at this stage. Not because I stopped loving you, but because it embittered me that you assumed that just because I am kind and decent, you can do whatever you want to me with zero consequences. The consequences start right now, and one of them is that you no longer have access to me.
So thank you for the lessons you gave me, even though till now I wish you weren't just another lesson in my life, but a love story. However, I promise you that this 'sacrifice' will not go to waste; from this point on, it is engraved inside me not to wait for anyone, not to choose someone who doesn't show me their interest consistently, and finally, not to constantly make excuses for others just because I am understanding or give them space. So, I am setting you free, because as it turns out, you were never worthy of me!
