Disappear

 From R.M. Drake

Sometimes the people who hurt you don't disappear because they don't care - they disappear because they do. Guilt has a way of turning into distance, of making eye contact feel heavy and words feel dangerous. So they choose silence, not as healing, but as shelter, hoping time will soften what they were too afraid to face.

But avoidance is not remorse, and distance is not accountability. What was broken doesn't heal on its own - it waits. And while they hide from the truth of what they did, you are left holding the weight of it, learning that real closure often comes not from an apology, but from accepting that some people would rather run than repair.
