Hey, Rim

February 14, 2026

Hey Rim,

I bought this domain for you. Months ago, when things were different lol, when I thought I'd build something here that would make you smile on Valentine's Day. I can't sell it for a year, so I figured I'd use it for the only thing it's good for now ; saying what I couldn't.

Yes, I have a short attention span. I know. And yes ; I didn't always love hearing about the past when I was trying so hard to be your present. I was right here. I wanted to be enough for right now.

I wanted to be your friend. Not a therapist, not an audience , a friend. Someone you laugh with, not just someone you vent to. But you kept behaving like you had no one, even when I was standing right there.

And maybe that's not your fault. Maybe that's not mine either. Maybe none of us are wrong. Maybe we just needed different things from the same conversation.

You told me once that you'd tell me things as many times as it takes ; because we'd live endless. I believed that. I held onto that line longer than I should have.

Remember that novel I shared with you? The link I sent from webnovel? the one you never opened? You ignored it. Maybe it didn't seem like much. Maybe you were busy. But if you had read the latest chapters, you would have known. You would have seen yourself in there ; how carefully I wrote your character, how much of you I was trying to hold onto through words because I was already losing you in real life.

Maybe we just lacked common interests. Maybe the things I cared about never made it to your list. That's okay. It has to be.

So, have a good time. With the new valentine. The one who has everything you wanted. The one you're actually attracted to. I hope they read your messages twice. I hope they remember the things you say. I hope they give you what I couldn't.

This isn't anger. I'm not even sure it's sadness anymore. It's just the quiet that comes after you stop trying. I'm sending this because I can't sell the domain for a year ; and because some goodbyes deserve more than a last seen.

Take care, Rim. For real this time.
