You tried. Over and over. You fought, you begged—hoping he'd finally listen to you talking. Because you felt that he was no longer giving you attention, you felt left out.

But he only ever sighed, waiting for you to stop complaining. Like a spoiled child.

And slowly, something in you faded.

One night, he came home late. But instead of the usual warm welcome, you simply said.

“Next time, take your keys. I’m tired of waiting for you.”

His heart skips a beat. That was the moment he realized he lost you.

Not to someone else—The way he dismissed you without even realizing.
