Your freedom matters more than my feelings

I want to say this clearly,
so there is no weight on your heart:

You are completely free.

Free to open this website
or never visit it again.

Free to remember me with warmth,
with distance,
or not at all.

Free to build a life
where I am only a page
that once existed
and now is gently closed.

My gratitude for you
doesn’t depend on where I stand in your story.

I will respect your silence
as much as I would respect your words.

Thank you for the part of your journey
I was allowed to see.

You are free to walk forward
with both hands open.

This light was never meant to hold you.
Only to honour you.
