Me and Peter ended up dating for three years. It felt like a dream at first. But everything changed when he left for the university. He started acting distant, cold. At first, I thought he was just busy, adjusting to his new life, which but soon, he stopped replying to my messages completely.
I tried to hold on. I begged him, cried sometimes at night, wondering what I did wrong. But deep down, I knew the truth.
Eventually, I found out he had started dating someone else. No explanation. No goodbye. Just silence and betrayal.
But by then, something in me had changed. I had already started moving on with my life. I promised myself I'd never beg for love again.
Later, I met someone online who was 15 years older than me, his name was Raymond . He was mature, kind, and caring. He lived in another country, but despite the distance and time difference, he always made me feel special. He flew down just to see me, to be with me. He spoiled me, took care of me in ways I didn't know I deserved.
That's when it hit me when a man truly loves you, you won't have to beg. He will show it. He will prove it.
Even now, some nights I remember how I used to cry over Peter,how I begged him just to treat me right. And it breaks my heart to think how blind I was.
But I'm not that girl anymore.
Now, I know my worth.
And I'll never forget the lesson Peter taught me... by walking away.
