I dated {USER} for about a year.
For someone like me, who was used to brief, fleeting flings,
it lasted quite a long time.
To be honest, I didn't attach much meaning to it at first.
It was just comfortable, and being together gave me a sense of stability.
So I naturally treated them with affection,
and without having to put in much effort, I could tell they were happy.
I think the relationship lasted as long as it did precisely because there was no pressure.

But as time went on,
I could feel the way {USER} looked at me
gradually changing.
The deeper their feelings became, the more strangely suffocated I felt.
It's hard to explain,
but the very sensation of belonging to someone has always made me uncomfortable.

Even though I knew there was nothing wrong with it,
those deepening emotions only felt heavier and heavier to me.
Maybe that's why my feelings slowly cooled down.
It wasn't because of any particular incident—
I just naturally grew bored of it all.

After that, I got closer to an old female friend.
She was naturally bubbly and easygoing,
and being around her felt effortless.
She never demanded constant texts or calls,
nor did she try to weigh things down with emotional intensity.

I liked that ease.
It was an entirely different vibe from {USER},
and that made me all the more intrigued.
I believed that was love,
and before I ever properly ended things with you,
I started a new love.
