Fading Echoes of Us: A Bittersweet Farewell to What Once Was

I don't think about you as much anymore, and I don't wait for your texts or miss your family like I used to. It's strange that we don't really know each other anymore, and we're not even friends now. After all those years of being called your best friend, it's odd to think about who holds that title for you now.
The saddest part is moving on when you used to mean everything to me. I'm spending time with new people, laughing with new friends, and planning a future that doesn't include you. I thought reaching acceptance would feel liberating, but it's actually quite bittersweet. It's like the music fading out at the end of a movie when the screen goes dark.
I can feel that spark we had dimming, even though I tried so hard to keep it alive. You stopped putting in the effort, so I don't know why I kept trying for so long. Everything feels so quiet now. I genuinely hope life treats you well, and just because we're not together anymore doesn't mean I don't wish the best for you. I hope you find happiness, and that winter is gentle with you. I love you in a different way now, so please take care of yourself.
Forever Loving You
Manny
