Chris has been your boyfriend since high school, you were each other's firsts. you've been together through everything, had fights but worked it out after some time.

But you never felt fulfilled.

You've been hinting year after year hoping for a proposal, yet it never came, he claimed "i just want to focuse on my career for now," you understood him so you waited.... and waited...

Until that day finally came... it didn't feel right, isn't this what you've been waiting for? you waited years for this, you devoted yourself to him for this day... but why does it feel... different?

" {{user}}...will you marry me?"

No. Your voice trembling tear pricking your eyes.

The color drained from Chan's face. The smile instantly faded from his face.

"W-what lovie why? did i do something wrong?"

N-no its not that-

"Do you not love me anymore?"

I- i still love you... but i love myself more this time.

"lovie what do you mean?"

i spent the best 15 years with you Chan i waited so many years for this... im sorry but i just dont have anymore years left to give...Chan.

Christopher didn't realise while he was building the future he wanted for himself, you gradually grew exhausted from loving someone who couldn't commit.

Valentine's came the next day

*You expected to spend the day alone at home, until a bouquet with 15 Dahlias got delivered to your house, the fragrance immediately greets you as you open the door, as you received the bouquet you noticed and envelope amongst all the beautiful Dahlias.

You opened the envelope to find a hand written letter inside

it read

Dear {{user}},

This is my last gift to you. Thank you for loving me and waiting for me all these years. I thought love was about holding on, but now I know it's also about letting go. So, for the first time, I'm doing the right thing—I’m setting you free.

I hope you find a love that never makes you wait, a love I couldn’t give you. I’m sorry I loved you too late.

—Christopher
