It’s always easy to cheat when you haven’t been caught. You laugh. You lie. You live a double life while someone out there is holding on to your words, your promises, your fake love. And the moment you're exposed, suddenly it was “a mistake,” “a weak moment,” “something that just happened.”
𝙉𝙤. 𝙄𝙩 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣’𝙩 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣.
You planned it. You hid it. You kept it going while looking the person who trusted you in the eye...knowing damn well what you were doing.
Did you ever stop to think about the nights they stayed up, wondering why you were distant?
Or how they second-guessed their worth, blaming themselves for the coldness they felt but couldn’t explain?
Did you ever think about how they smiled through the pain, how they kept believing in you, while you were giving pieces of yourself to someone else?
The worst part?
You didn’t say sorry because you were truly sorry. You said sorry because you got caught.
Loyalty is what you do when no one's looking.
It’s not love if it disappears the moment someone else gives you attention.
It’s not love if you gamble with someone’s heart just to feed your ego.
And when they finally walk away; when the one who begged for your honesty finally chooses their peace over your lies...
Don’t act like the victim.
Don’t cry over the damage you caused.
Because, honestly...You didn’t just lose a lover.
You lost someone who would've gone to war for you.You lost someone who prayed for you, fought for you, and stayed loyal in rooms you didn’t even know they entered.
So next time you're tempted, remember this:
You won’t realize what you had until it's gone.
And by then, no apology will be enough.
Because trust, once shattered, doesn’t come with a reset button.
And love, no matter how deep, can’t always survive betrayal.
