I’ve loved this girl for nearly ten years and it’s starting to consume me. Almost every year I find myself in the same painful cycle questioning my choices and wondering why I keep holding on. I’ve waited far too long for her to show me the kind of affection I’ve always hoped for. My biggest mistake has been being there for her every time she needed me yet during the good times I never truly felt appreciated or valued. My self-esteem has hit rock bottom.
What hurts the most is knowing I let this happen even though I always knew how it would end. It’s heartbreaking to accept that no matter how much effort I put in she’ll never love me the way I’ve dreamed of. I’ve tried to distance myself from her a couple of times and it helped for a while. But each time she reached out and I couldn’t bring myself to say no.
Right now I feel like I need to walk away for good. No matter how much she might need me again she’s already chosen someone else to share her joy with and that’s who she should turn to when things get hard. I can’t keep being the fallback. I need to let go even if it breaks me..

The good thing is you do it once and it’s lesson learned.
