That wasn’t chemistry. That was karmic combustion.

It wasn’t chemistry. It was recognition. A feeling too fast, too deep. Like walking into a memory you never made. You looked at them and something pulled. Not soft, not sweet. More like gravity. Sharp and silent. It felt written. Not new, but familiar. As if something unfinished returned wearing a different face. It wasn’t about romance—it was a lesson wrapped in longing.

You felt seen, but never steady. The bond was instant, but unstable. Every word sparked something. Every silence hurt more. You called it passion. You mistook it for fate. But it was a pattern, not a promise. These kinds of connections burn quickly. They stir something hidden. Old wounds. Deep needs. You keep reaching for closeness, but it slips. You try harder. You lose pieces of yourself.

The cycle repeats. Intensity, distance, apologies. You hope this time it will soften. But it stays sharp. The highs are too high. The lows too low. You start mistaking the chaos for love. You hold on tighter. You think love is supposed to be this hard. But love doesn’t take your voice. Love doesn’t twist your clarity. This isn’t romance. It’s recognition of what you still carry.

You give too much, hoping it fixes everything. But it doesn’t. It only deepens the ache. You try to explain, to fix, to wait. But they don’t meet you halfway. And still, you stay. Not because it feels good, but because it feels meaningful’. That’s the trap. The belief that something powerful must be right. But not everything powerful is safe.

Leaving feels impossible. Like breaking a contract you didn’t know you signed. But eventually, you do. Slowly. Quietly. Not because it didn’t matter. But because it hurt too much to keep. The silence that follows is strange. Empty. But also honest. You stop needing answers. You stop chasing closure. You begin to return to yourself.

Some people don’t stay. They arrive to awaken. To show you what still needs healing. What still holds you back. You loved them, or something they mirrored. But now you see the pattern clearly. You don’t blame. You just step away. With more softness. With more truth. With more of yourself intact.

This wasn’t your forever. It was a door. A chapter. A lesson. And you learned. That real connection doesn’t confuse. It calms. That love isn’t a game. It’s quiet. Steady. And kind.
