Fade

 From Peaceofdeace

They didn't fade because you changed.

They faded because you started noticing.

Noticing the inconsistency.

The avoidance.

The way they only showed up when it was

convenient...

but disappeared the moment you needed more

than surface-level love.

You stopped begging.

Stopped chasing.

Stopped shrinking yourself just to keep their

attention.

And that's when the mask fell off.

That's when their "love" couldn't survive your self-

awareness.

Because you weren't easier to love when you had

no boundaries

you were just easier to use.

Avoidant love isn't always loud.

Sometimes it fades quietly.

In unanswered texts.

In dry conversations.

In the way they say they care...

but never follow through.

And still, somehow, you blamed yourself.

But not anymore.

Not this season.

Because healing begins the moment you stop

asking why they left --

and start asking why you kept holding on.

If you're finally in that place...

Where peace matters more than potential...

Write the word "HEAL" below.

You didn't lose them.

You found you.
