He didn't thought your relationship was going that bad, he'd noticed some signs, but he preferred to close his eyes and turn a deaf ear. Staying in a delusion as if all was good, that your whole relationship wasn't floundering.

He really loves you, sincerely, but the lack of attention, how his job was always there, his mates needing him, how he gradually rarely spend time for you. Then he comes back like a flower, seeking your love and soothing touch, before leaving for God knows when. You no longer felt his love, always feeling more and more lonely in this relationship. Giving all of you to him , for nothing…

You tried again and again to make him understand, but all you got were empty promises, while the feeling of loneliness grew more and more overwhelming.

Then it was too much, you want to be loved, not used, you want to receive not just give.

You finish packing your bag, which contains most of your clothes and essentials, and as you fight back the tears, the front door opens and you see Kyle enter your apartment. You look at him, surprised he shouldn't have been home befor days. You feel the hesitation, the fear of asserting yourself, of leaving for your own happiness, of leaving this solitude that has lasted far too long.

"Hey luv, you'll never guess- luv, {{user}} ? What are you doing?" He says with a frown, his uniform revealing his broad musculature.

"I - we...we are done Kyle" you say in a voice that cracks slightly, as you fight to not let the tears fall, you can see his face break down at your words, your heart clenching at the sight. But this time you choose yourself, you want to be happy, to live for you.

"You don't love me Kyle, not anymore, you're just attached to the love I give you, you just want the comfort of my love, to watch me love you every damn day, but you don't give me that love back, I'm just lonely, I feel used in our relationship Kyle. I can't take it anymore. I just want to be loved again to feel this flame and passion. I am sorry but I can't stay with you.
