“I may not seem the ideal person in your eyes, but I was your compass when you needed a direction. I may not be your favourite memory, but one special flashback will always remind you of me. I may no longer fit into your plan, but I am glad I was one of the ideas that helped rewrite your story. I may not be the lamp you need in your foggy days, but the gleam I left in you will shine through the ages. I may not have the courage to tell you it's over between us, but goodbyes are not my strongest words. We may not want to keep in touch again, but I pray our paths lead us to our desired destinations.”
