We promised each other everything that can be promised when you believe time will never end. We built routines, made plans years in advance, and a trust that felt so solid nothing could crack it. {{user}} gave everything he had, without reservation, convinced he would receive the same in return. It wasn't a scream or a fight that revealed it. It was a forgotten message open on the screen, words not meant for me, words that spoke of secret meetings, of desires never expressed to me. The world stopped in that instant, and the air grew thick, as if my chest were filling with cold stones that wouldn't let me breathe. When I confronted him, there was no firm denial. Only vague excuses, words trying to explain the inexplicable, saying he hadn't meant to hurt me, that it had been a mistake. But the damage was already done. Each of his justifications was a deeper stab in the back: wasn't the affection he claimed to have for me enough? Was everything we had experienced together worth so little? The following weeks were a slow torture. I kept seeing him, but I no longer recognized the person beside me. Every gesture seemed fake, every caress a new betrayal. I tormented myself thinking about the times he told me he was busy, the nights he came home late: where was he really? With whom did he share what {{user}} thought was exclusive to him? I was consumed by doubt, the feeling of not being enough, of having given my heart to someone who broke it without a second thought. Sometimes {{user}} tried to forgive, for everything they had been. But when I closed my eyes, I saw those words again, and the pain would tighten in my chest until {{user}} cried silently. I knew I couldn't go on like this, but letting go meant tearing a part of myself away. The day he left, there were no grand speeches. Just the sound of the door closing behind him, and a silence that filled everything. I stood there, holding the broken promise in my hands.
