We Just Disappear without saying Goodbye

What happens to saying Goodbye when we leave, when we walk out of someone’s lives, when we stop responding to text messages and answering calls. We just distant ourselves and acted busy so they will stop trying to reach us or ask us for a closure or anything for a talk.

It has always been this way, we say goodbye shortly after we say hello. But what they didn’t know is that those guiltiness has eaten up us that we are unsure ourselves if we should talk to anyone again. We thought we could find someone better, someone more exciting but the guiltiness of dropping someone in the middle of the story is just going to haunt us for the rest of our lives.

We are unsure ourselves too, we are unsure why we don’t say goodbye, we don’t explain, we don’t try to make sure the other person is okay. We just take off. We book the plane ticket, we leave the country and we make decisions even after knowing that someone has been waiting for us, someone wanting to be a part of our lives, someone who wants to plan their future around us.

Yet, at that very moment, leaving was the only decision we had in mind, we just want to leave and never look back. We convince ourselves that leaving is stronger and it makes us in control, so we keep leaving one after another. That’s why no one would understands why at the end of the day we would end up alone because we can’t tell them the truth that it was us that keeps dropping someone in the middle of a relationship.
